A MAN is in a serious ­condition in hospital after plunging through the glass roof of Glasgow Central Station.

Passengers were ­evacuated from the station following the incident, which occurred about 11.30pm on Friday.

The 25-year-old man was taken the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.

He suffered lacerations to his body and broken bones from the impact of the fall.

He plummeted through a section of the glass roof to the left-hand side of the station after falling from the adjoining luxury ­Grasshoppers hotel on Union Street.

A police spokesman said: "A 25-year-old man has been charged with a public order offence in connection to the incident and a report has been submitted to the procurator-fiscal."

A spokesman for Network Rail said the roof had been repaired.
