A blind man has sustained life-threatening injuries after falling onto subway tracks in Glasgow.
The 32-year-old fell on to the line at Bridge Street Station shortly before noon on Thursday.
He was taken to the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment.
British Transport Police said officers were called to the station following reports of a casualty on the tracks.
In a statement, the force said: "Paramedics also attended, and a 32-year-old man has been taken to hospital.
"At this stage his injuries are believed to be life-threatening. The incident is not being treated as suspicious."
The man is reported to have been with his guide dog at the time, which was taken into the care of the Scottish SPCA.
Glasgow Subway tweeted both the inner and outer circles were suspended because of a "passenger-related incident", but they both later reopened.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
