Police, fire and ambulances were all dispatched to the scene.

Emergency services flocked to a street in Glasgow’s Partick today after a building partially collapsed at around midday today.

The BBC reported that the structure fell about 3.6m (12ft) from the top of a building on to the pavement.

“Road closures and diversions in place”.

No-one is understood to have been injured, however there are reports that cars in the vicinity were damaged by falling debris.

There is a large emergency services response.

Another eyewitness in a nearby flat said his building was evacuated.

He told the Daily Record: “I was in my flat, I was getting out of the shower and I heard this tremendous rumble”.

“We look outside the kitchen window and there was this cloud of dust and we immediately thought that the wall of the terrace had fallen because it was already slightly leaning”.
