A library was forced to close and police were called after Tommy Robinson confronted an MP.

The SNP's Stewart McDonald had to be escorted away by officers from Pollokshaws Library in Glasgow.

In October, McDonald described Robinson as someone who organises "violent, thuggish crimes" across the country.

English Defence League founder Robinson travelled to Glasgow on Friday ahead of Mr McDonald's surgery.

In a video posted online, Robinson waited for McDonald to come out of the library before saying he was a "loathsome, obnoxious and a repellent individual".

The library remained closed to the public for around an hour.

Police Scotland has been approached for comment.

In a Tweet McDonald said him and his staff were fine following the incident and thanked the police and Glasgow Life staff for their professionalism.

He said: "Thanks to those who have got in touch with kind messages - my staff and I are fine. Thanks must go to @policescotland officers for their professionalism and also @glasgowlife staff at Pollokshaws Library. I'll keep doing my job on behalf of Southsiders."
