Glasgow road locked down by police amid ongoing incident as restaurant 'forced' to close

Police have locked down London Road in the Calton area of Glasgow in an apparent ongoing incident.

The road close to the Barras Market is currently cordoned off. Brunch restaurant Scran, located on London Road, took to social media to say the restaurant has "been forced to close" on its "busiest day of the week".

Speaking to Glasgow Live, the Scran team said: "We were forced to close as the police said there was a risk of things kicking off and as we were stuck directly in the middle of the street we didn't want to put our customers or staff at risk".

The restaurant also shared footage of police blocking London Road at Bain Street and Kent Street with vans around midday on Sunday (November 10).
