A man has been arrested and charged after a car appears to have been driven at speed towards a crowd of independence supporters on a march in Glasgow.
The incident occurred in the city centre as thousands took part in the Believe in Scotland rally, which began at Kelvin Way and ended at George Square.
A video shows marchers making their way along West George Street being escorted by police officers when a car appears to travel at speed towards them from West Campbell Street.
A uniformed officer moves in front of the vehicle and slams their hands down on its bonnet. The car rolls backwards and more officers come to aid their colleague opening the vehicle’s doors and bringing it to a halt.
No members of the public or police officers were injured in the incident.
It is understood at this stage that there is nothing to indicate any direct link to the incident with the march which was taking place.
A 20-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with drug and road traffic offences and is due to appear in court at a later date.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 20-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with drug and road traffic offences.
“He has been released and is due to appear in court at a later date.
“A report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
