Two police officers have been injured in an incident in Renfrewshire, where a man was seen running with a chainsaw.

A 27-year-old man was arrested after the disturbance on Glasgow Road, Paisley, which also saw a vehicle crash into a stationary police car.

Footage shared on social media shows a man pursuing an officer while brandishing the weapon, shortly after the crash at about 13:00.

Police Scotland said there were no other injuries and there was no wider risk to the public.

Images from the scene show a police car crashed through a garden wall and a dark-coloured Volkswagen with a badly-damaged front.

Another video posted online appears to show a man being detained by several uniformed and plain clothes officers outside a dental surgery.

Dewalt here. It came with a 12” bar but a 14” Oregon bar bolted right up. It’s not for every job, but I use it a LOT.
