Police are currently in attendance at a stabbing in Glasgow city centre.
Officers were called just after midday on Sunday to reports of an assault on the city's Argyle Street, which they believe to be targeted.
An eyewitness told The Herald and Times that he heard 'loads of screaming' from the area, before seeing a man lying on the ground 'covered in blood'.
He said: "Literally just happened, was loads of screaming and guy is on the ground with blood all over him.

"Looked like the guy came out of the Premier Inn hotel."
A police cordon has been erected at Argyle Street where it meets James Watt Street.
But officers say they do not believe there is a threat to the wider public.
Inspector Gareth Griffiths said: "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.”
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
