Two Glasgow boys, aged 14 and 15, were arrested and charged at the weekend in connection with the incident.

The pair, who cannot be identified due to legal reasons, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

Both have been accused of assault and carrying an offensive weapon in a public place.

The 14-year-old has additionally been charged with Amen’s murder.
