A teenager has been arrested after a boy was allegedly attacked outside a Glasgow school.
We previously reported how a 14-year-old boy was assaulted outside the entrance of Lourdes Secondary School in Cardonald in the city's Southside, on Friday, January 12.
He was rushed to hospital for treatment while police taped off Kirriemuir Avenue after the incident happened at around 1:55pm.
Now a 13-year-old boy has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report that a 14-year-old boy had been assaulted on Kirriemuir Avenue, Glasgow, around 1.55pm on Friday, 12 January, 2024.
“He was taken to hospital for treatment “A 13-year-old boy has been charged in connection with the incident.
“He is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date. A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
