Scottish Fire and Rescue crews came under attack three times in Clydebank and in isolated incidents in Glasgow as firefighters were called to deal with hundreds of incidents across the country.
Glasgow and Clydebank emergency services came under attack during another Bonfire Night of chaos branded 'wholly unacceptable'.
Police say various parts of Glasgow experienced pockets of disorder, with youths witnessed throwing fireworks at members of the public, vehicles and police officers. There were also four incidents of fire appliances being subjected to attacks when responding to calls. No injuries were reported. During the Operation Moonbeam deployment for October and November 2023, a total of 62 officers sustained injuries after being targeted with fireworks and other projectiles. Howeve, this year no injuries to emergency service workers or members of the public were reported.
“Nevertheless, the levels of violence and aggression police officers, fire service and ambulance service personnel faced in some areas was wholly unacceptable and a significant investigative response is now underway to identify each and every one of those involved and bring them to justice.
