A man has been charged with attempted murder following a tragic incident at a Glasgow station where he and a two-year-old boy were hit by a train. The incident occurred on Sunday at Garrowhill, prompting a response from emergency crews.
The 26-year-old man and the young child were swiftly taken to the hospital, with the boy sustaining minor injuries and being discharged earlier this week. The man, who was arrested on Monday night under suspicion of attempted murder, has now been discharged from the hospital and formally charged with the offence.
He is scheduled to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court today to face the charges against him.
