According to BBC News, seven people were arrested and a police car was set alight during Bonfire Night disorder in parts of Scotland. A police officer and an ambulance staff member suffered minor injuries after being attacked with fireworks in Glasgow.
The police vehicle was seriously damaged in Greenside Street in the Provanmill area of Glasgow, where a 16-year-old boy was arrested. Fireworks were also thrown at police and members of the public in several parts of Edinburgh, while fire service crews came under attack in a number of towns.
Chief Superintendent David Robertson said police officers, ambulance staff and firefighters were there to protect communities and should not be targets of violence. He said thorough investigations would identify those responsible and bring them to justice.
