People rush to the scene of the helicopter crash at the Glasgow pub.

Dozens have people have been injured after a police helicopter crashed into the roof of a busy pub in Glasgow City Centre.

People at the scene say there are people still trapped in the venue and emergency services have been dragging customers out of the premises.

It is still not clear if anybody has been killed in the horrific crash.

The aircraft hit The Clutha on Stockwell Street, which faces onto the river Clyde.

The bar is very popular with Donegal people living and visiting the city.

Reports say around 200 people have been taken to a nearby Holiday Inn for treatment.

The emergency services have also been trying to get onto the roof to get access into the pub.

A picture posted on social media clearly shows it was a Police Helicopter, with a distinct logo on the sign.

The bar is popular with Celtic fans.

Grace MacLean who was inside the pub described the roof coming in.

“There was not bang, the roof gradually caved in,” she told Sky News.

“There were a few jokes about the band bringing the house down and then there was this dust and I was choking on the dust.

“We ran outside and the roof was coming down more. I don’t think the helicopter slammed into the roof.”

Claire Morris, who lives near the Clutha bar, told BBC News: ‘We heard this bang. We didn’t really know what had happened and then we heard people coming out and screaming.”
