It is understood a man was running through Glasgow Road with a chainsaw.
Glasgow Road in Paisley is currently closed between Buchlyvie Road and Allanton Avenue as the Express understands a man was “running through the street with a chainsaw.”“There was about six or seven police cars and an ambulance.“There was a lot of shouting from one of the houses and the next thing a cop was bolting through the street and a few yards behind him was a man running down the street after him with what looked like a chainsaw - waving it about in the air.
“It took a few of the officers to restrain and get the cuffs on him as he was going absolutely mental on the ground.” Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.
