Violence breaks out during unrest in Glasgow after an earlier stabbing in Northern Ireland, according to reports from multiple outlets. Police say officers and members of the public are injured during the disturbances. One report says two police officers and three members of the public are hurt.
Several outlets describe worshippers being locked inside a mosque during the unrest as crowds and attacks occur outside. The Daily Record and Daily Mail both state people shelter behind locked doors at Glasgow’s largest mosque. The Evening Standard and Daily Mail report police comments that people are attacked “because of the colour of their skin,” indicating that at least some violence is directed on racial grounds.
The Belfast Telegraph provides the same core account but does not add further details in the supplied text. Across sources, the emphasis remains on the reported injuries, the mosque being locked to protect worshippers, and police characterising the motivation for some attacks as linked to skin colour.
