A teenager who was attacked by a gang of youths inside a Glasgow shopping centre has been treated in hospital for his injuries.

Video posted on social media shows the young man, who was using a crutch and wearing a medical boot, being knocked to the ground, then repeatedly punched and kicked inside the St Enoch Centre on Friday afternoon.

A second person was also pushed to the ground but security staff intervened.

Police Scotland said the 19-year-old was taken to hospital and a 17-year-old boy was later arrested and charged following investigations.

The St Enoch Centre is located inside the Glasgow city centre dispersal zone which was established in March as part of a crackdown on crime and anti-social behaviour.

Officers are able to ask groups of two or more to leave the designated area if their behaviour is "impacting on the safety and well-being" of others, and they can be banned from returning for 24 hours.

The attack came just a few days after it was confirmed that the dispersal zone powers would be extended into December.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A 17-year-old male has been arrested and charged following enquiries into a disturbance in the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow.

"The incident happened around 3.35pm on Friday, 2 October, 2026. He has been released on an undertaking and will appear in court at a later date."

Disclosure investigates claims that parts of Scotland’s biggest city have become a no-go zone because of crime, homelessness and antisocial behaviour.
