Police siege at party in Glasgow

TWO men have been taken to hospital and two more detained by police after a disturbance at a property on the outskirts of Glasgow late last night.

The individuals were treated for injuries following a “siege situation” at a house in the upmarket suburb of Newton Mearns in East Renfrewshire.

Fire crews were called to a small fire at Moorhill Crescent around 5pm to find those inside had barricaded the doors shut.
