“The first police car came around the corner with the blues and twos on and then another came screeching around the corner.
“There was a few folk quarrelling and then officers put two blokes in separate police units.
“The third police vehicle headed towards Panmure Street but it was certainly in a hurry.”
Another patron outside the public house said she was “surprised” by the events in the street.
She added: “More police seemed to arrive, there was another female speaking to police but it was heated.
“There was a load of folk outside having a cigarette but more police were coming around the corner as the situation escalated.
“I was surprised to see what was unfolding as officers tried to get it under control.”
