A pupil has been attacked outside a high school in Glasgow.

The 14-year-old boy was taken to hospital following the incident at about 14:00 near Lourdes Secondary, on Kirriemuir Avenue in Cardonald.

A number of parents used social media to express concern regarding the incident, saying the school had texted family members to stress that pupils were safe.

Glasgow City Council said that staff had reacted "swiftly" to the assault.

A spokeswoman said: "School staff acted swiftly to an incident outside the school grounds today and emergency services attended.

"It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage during the police investigation."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said officers had attended the school and inquiries were ongoing.
