Eight cops were injured after a number of incidents with petrol bombs, fireworks and projectiles that required a response from specialist police.
Police Scotland have slammed a "disgusting level of disorder" seen on Bonfire Night as fire crews and cops were attacked.
In Glasgow, at around 9pm, police received a report of two separate groups of youths fighting and throwing fireworks at one another within the Quarrywood Avenue area of Barmulloch. “The violent nature of the situation witnessed in the Niddrie area of Edinburgh is extremely concerning, not least because it is believed young people were being actively encouraged and co-ordinated by adults to target officers while they carried out their duties.”
Detectives investigating the attacks on officers in Niddrie are also actively pursuing a number of individuals who they believe were providing local youths with fireworks and petrol bombs to target police. Inquiries into this are ongoing. “Investigations into the offences that arose throughout Scotland on Sunday evening are continuing and we will make every effort to ensure anyone who was involved is identified and brought to justice. If any members of the public believe they have information that can assist our inquiries, then please contact us via 101, or make an anonymous report to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
