A site worker said they had been told little about the incident but that police had been in place since they arrived for work in the morning.
Police later confirmed they were investigating a serious sexual assault and that the incident is being treated as rape.
This attack comes after a series of other sexual assaults within the city and surrounding areas, including Virginia Place, Springburn Park, and Royston.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 10.45pm on Wednesday, July 8, we received a report of a serious sexual assault in the Warroch Street area of Glasgow.
"Enquiries are ongoing and at an early stage."
