The teenager was arrested and will appear in court at a later date.

Violence Reduction Unit cops had been carrying out patrols in the area in response to community concerns around drug dealing and anti-social behaviour.

Greater Glasgow Police Division encouraged people to let them know about problems.

A post on Facebook read: "If there are specific problems in your community, tell us about them so we can help."
