A man has been arrested and charged over the attempted murder of a police officer in Glasgow.

The officer was attacked while making inquiries at a property in Wyndford Drive, in the city's Maryhill area, at about 07:30 on Friday.

He was treated for injuries at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and was later discharged.

Police Scotland said the 26-year-old man is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

A female officer also sustained minor injuries during the incident but did not require medical treatment.
