Armed police have been called to the scene of a double disturbance at a house in East Ayrshire.<\/p>\n

Officers received a report of man having been injured at a property in Cross Street, Galston, at 08:05.<\/p>\n

The man was taken to hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Police Scotland said there was a subsequent disturbance involving another man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A spokesperson said: “This is a contained incident and firearms officers are in attendance as a precaution. Inquiries are ongoing.<\/p>\n

“Officers will remain in the area and anyone with concerns can approach them.”<\/p>\n

A woman, who did not want to be named, described how she was prevented by police from getting to work in the town.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC Scotland News at the edge of the police cordon, the woman said: “I went to walk down there and the policeman told me to ‘get back’, very loud.<\/p>\n

“I explained that I was just trying to get to my work and he said he didn’t care, I wasn’t allowed, get back, it was a firearms situation.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
