Man arrested after Glasgow restaurant stand-off A 38-year-old man is in custody after an eight-hour stand-off with armed police at an Italian restaurant in central Glasgow. The Amarone restaurant and its surrounding buildings were evacuated after a man was sighted "acting suspiciously" at around 3.45pm on Friday. Police negotiators, armed officers and a bomb squad were dispatched to the area, before the man was eventually taken into custody at 11.45pm, following the storming of the basement level establishment by armed officers. A police spokeswoman said he was taken to hospital for check-ups. She added that the stand-off involved one man who was contained alone inside the premises. Negotiators had been speaking to the suspect over a megaphone at the scene before he was detained. Strathclyde Police said: "In relation to an incident in Nelson Mandela Place, Glasgow, yesterday evening, we can confirm a 38-year-old-man has been arrested and is presently detained in police custody. There may be continued restrictions to the immediate area as the investigation is ongoing. Members of the public are thanked for their continuing co-operation and understanding of any inconvenience this may cause. The incident is not being treated as terror related, but parts of Buchanan Street and West George Street were closed off by officers while Buchanan Street subway station was also shut down. Some disruption is expected to continue through Saturday.
