'Grenade siege' in Glasgow
Police surround city flat after man throws grenade-like objects onto the street.
ARMED POLICE IN GLASGOW ARE at the scene of an alleged grenade siege. Officers were called to a flat on Dumbarton Road this morning following reports of a domestic disturbance, the BBC reports.
Grenade-like devices were allegedly thrown from the premises, and up to three can be seen on the road outside. Bomb disposal experts have been called in, according to Radio Clyde.
Police have described them as flares, but have closed the road. The man is believed to have barricaded himself into the flat and negotiators are on the scene.
A woman understood to have been involved in the earlier domestic incident is no longer in the flat.
