A man has been arrested in connection with the attempted murder of a police officer in Glasgow.
Police Scotland said a 26-year-old man had been charged after an alleged incident in the city’s Wyndford Drive at about 7.30am on Friday.
A male police officer who was carrying out enquiries at a property had to be taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow after being assaulted.
The officer was treated and later discharged, the force confirmed.
A female police officer suffered minor injuries during the incident but did not require medical treatment, Police Scotland added.
The 26-year-old man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

“This was an isolated incident and there was no threat to the wider community.”
