Armed police have been called to the scene of a disturbance at a house in East Ayrshire where a 55-year-old man was found injured.<\/p>\n
Officers received a report of the man having been hurt 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 a 33-year-old man who was later arrested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A spokesperson said: “This is a contained incident and firearms officers are in attendance as a precaution. Inquiries are ongoing.<\/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
