Glasgow community in shock after serious assault on teenager prompts park run cancellation
A popular weekend park run in Glasgow was abruptly cancelled after a 13-year-old boy fell victim to a serious assault, causing alarm in the local community. Emergency services quickly responded, descending upon Victoria Road in Glasgow on Friday evening following reports of the violent incident.
The injured teenager received immediate attention at the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital for intensive treatment. The severity of the boy’s injuries has raised concerns among residents and authorities alike.
In the wake of the unsettling event, Queen’s Parkrun, the organization behind the weekend activity, issued a swift announcement on social media early Saturday. They urgently informed potential attendees that the run had been suspended due to the preceding night’s police incident, urging people to stay away for their own safety.
The turmoil began after Police Scotland initiated a full closure of Victoria Road, with barricades extending from Albert Road to Queens Drive following Friday evening’s assault. This traffic interruption continued as the investigation progressed, and members of the public, as well as drivers, were prompted to find alternative pathways and to steer clear of the location in question.
Providing updates on the situation, a police representative addressed the media, confirming the teenager’s hospitalization. The spokesperson reiterated the call for the public to avoid the area as detectives and officers carried on with their inquiries into the disturbing assault.
