The condition of the lad who was taken to hospital is not known.

Emergency services raced to the scene at around 1.55pm as the school is believed to have locked down until it was safe to release the pupils.

Cops have since sealed off the street as they probe the scene for clues.

Officers are currently still on scene as they carry out their enquiries.

A text from the school to parents confirmed the incident happened at lunchtime.

It read: "We are aware that there is information circulating about an incident that took place outside the school at lunchtime today. We would like to reassure families that the school acted quickly and emergency services attended.

"Our young people are safe and, as this is now a police investigation, there is no more information that we can share at this time."

A Glasgow City Council spokesperson 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."

Police Scotland spokesperson, said: “We received a report that a 14-year-old boy had been assaulted on Kirriemuir Avenue, Glasgow, around 1.55pm on Friday, 12 January, 2024.

"“He was taken to hospital for treatment. Officers are in attendance and enquiries are ongoing."
