FIVE people have been arrested at Glasgow Pride for offences including alleged breach of the peace with homophobic aggravation.
Scotland’s biggest LGBTI festival kicked off in the city yesterday with a massive parade attended by around 5,000, and is continuing at Glasgow Green today.
Police say they have so far made five arrests, for offences including breach of the peace, police obstruction and resisting police arrest.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Yesterday, two men aged 16 and 24-years-old were arrested and detained in custody.
"This was for alleged breach of the peace with homophobic aggravation, police obstruction and resisting police arrest.
"They are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.
"Another man, aged 19, and two women, aged 23 and 28 were also arrested and liberated for alleged breach of the peace."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
