The entrance to Glasgow Central Station has been cordoned off after a man fell from a window.

Emergency services were called to Gordon Street just after 11am on Friday following the incident.

It is understood the man, who may have been naked according to some reports, fell from a third or fourth floor window of the Central Hotel, which adjoins the station.

Both entrances to the street were taped off and dozens of police and paramedics were in attendance.

Police have confirmed the incident and said the man has been taken to hospital.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Police Scotland can confirm emergency services are in attendance after a man fell from a window in Gordon Street, Glasgow.

"There are no details on injuries and the man is being taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital."
