During the struggle, one of the men involved can be heard urging members of the public to get away from the scene, warning that the man they are grappling with “has a knife”.

A voice can be heard before ordering passers-by to “run for your life” and shouting: “He’s got a knife. He’s got a knife. Get out of the f***ing way,” The Scottish Sun reports.

The alleged knifeman can then be seen running away from the group once again, while several of the men throw more traffic cones in his direction.

Another man can then be seen on camera pointing to what appears to be a bloodied shirt, as well as several wounds to the arms and the chest.

It is yet to be officially confirmed whether anybody was stabbed or how many people, if any, needed medical treatment following the incident. Police are investigating the incident.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 11.10pm on Thursday, 27 August, 2026, officers received a report of a disturbance on Bridge Street, Glasgow. Enquiries to establish the full circumstances are ongoing.”
