Police have cordoned off a street in Glasgow after someone was stabbed in a “targeted assault”.

There was no threat to the wider public following the attack in Argyle Street, the force said.

Officers were called to the scene at the junction with James Watt street just after midday on Sunday.

Inspector Gareth Griffiths said: “We were called around 12.10pm on Sunday, 28 June, to a report of an assault in Argyle Street, Glasgow.

“Officers are currently at the scene. We believe this was a targeted assault and we do not believe there is a threat to the wider public.”

The incident is not thought to be linked to the knife attack in Glasgow’s West George Street on Friday.

Six people were injured during Friday’s attack, including a police officer, while the knifeman was shot and killed by an armed unit.
