Man to appear in court over alleged assault in Lochee area of Dundee

POLICE: 28-yearold arrested and charged following Saturday incident

A man is set to appear in Dundee Sheriff Court today in connection with an alleged serious assault in a Lochee multi over the weekend.

The 28-year-old was arrested and charged in connection with the incident, which happened at Elders Court on Saturday evening.

A man, 32, was seriously injured and taken to Ninewells Hospital, but his injuries were not believed to be lifethreatening.

Residents reported seeing police officers carrying out door-to-door inquiries throughout the night.

At least two ambulances were also called to the scene.

One resident saw a man lying on the ground at the car park between Elders Court and Adamson Court, near the communal bins.

He said: “I heard a lot of sirens and had a look out of my window. I was listening to music with headphones on, as I just like to keep to myself here. But even then I heard the noise from everything that was going on.

“There were loads of people hanging around and looking.

“I went to take my bins out and could see a guy lying on the ground.

“At first I thought he may have jumped from a window, but when I looked closer he was too far away from the building for that.”

He said: “It felt like there were hundreds of police officers here. It took a while for the ambulances to get here.”

A police presence remained in the area through the afternoon.

A police spokeswoman said: “Around 7.30pm on Saturday, officers attended at Elders Court in Dundee after reports that a 32-year-old had been seriously assaulted.

“The man was taken to Ninewells Hospital where his condition is described as not life-threatening. A 28-year-old man has been charged and is expected to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday June 22.”

Meanwhile, another man has been subsequently charged in connection with a reported stabbing at the other end of Dundee last week.

A 28-year old man was arrested on June 19 amid reports of a stabbing near the Iceland on Campfield Square. Eyewitness reports suggest the incident was preceded by an argument over someone “coughing and spluttering” while not wearing a face mask.

A police spokeswoman confirmed that the man has since been charged and is due to appear in court soon.
