Serious incident in Port Glasgow - car smeared with blood

It is understood that a 45-year-old woman had to be conveyed to hospital as a result of what police have described as a disturbance involving a number of people.

Officers were alerted to the incident at 12.50am this morning.

No arrests have yet been made in relation to the matter.

A Police Scotland forensics team were at the scene on Clune Brae, near the Hibernian social club, earlier today.

Multiple evidence bags filled with items of interest to the police were stacked at the side of the road while investigations continued.

Shattered glass could also be seen on the roadway beside the white car.

Passers by said they saw someone hurt near the white Ford car which still had blood on its bonnet this morning.

One eyewitness told the Telegraph: "I was driving by and I saw a good number of police and emergency services vehicles with their blue lights flashing.

"Uniformed police officers were on the street and it looked like someone had been injured.

"Whatever it was, it didn't look good."

A police cordon was in place at Clune Brae this morning.

Uniformed officers were later seen loading evidence bags into an unmarked grey Hyundai car.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We were made aware of a number of people involved in a disturbance at Clune Brae in Port Glasgow around 12.50am on Saturday, 9 September.

"A 45-year-old woman was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged.

"Enquiries are ongoing."
