Scottish police said on Sunday they were investigating an alleged “online threat” made to Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
“We have received a report of an online threat being made and officers are carrying out enquiries,” said a Police Scotland.
The 57-year-old writer tweeted on Friday that she was “feeling very sick right now” as news broke of the attack on Rushdie in New York state.

In response, a user tweeted “Don´t worry you are next”.
Rowling shared a screenshot of the reply, asking Twitter moderators “any chance of some support?”
