Police report disorder during a protest in Greenock connected to an asylum hotel. Multiple outlets say three police officers are injured and police vehicles are damaged after people throw items at officers near the hotel area. The Glasgow Times describes a “huge disorder” in the town centre and states that police condemn the violence, with damage to police vehicles occurring during the protest activity. BBC News adds that two arrests are made during the incident and that two police vehicles are damaged as items are thrown at officers. Both accounts link the injuries and damage to the same event occurring around the protest outside or near the asylum hotel in Greenock. The reports do not provide further details on the seriousness of the officers’ injuries or the identities of those arrested. Police have not, in the cited reports, released information on what specific items were thrown or what triggered the protest, but both sources indicate that the confrontation involved aggression toward officers and led to arrests and injuries.
