Police probe serious assault in Dundee

Police have launched an investigation after a man was seriously assaulted in Dundee.

The incident happened around 11.40pm on Saturday, in Ancrum Court in Lochee.

The 34-year-old man suffered serious head injuries during a disturbance at the multi, on Burnside Street, and was taken to Ninewells Hospital, where his condition is described as stable.

A resident at Ancrum Court said: “I looked outside last night to see blue lights and police gathered in the street.

“I couldn’t see what was happening but there seemed to be a man on the ground.

“An ambulance also arrived and the man was treated by paramedics before being put in the back of the ambulance.”

Another resident had seen a commotion outside the flats before hearing from neighbours someone had been “badly hurt”.

“I had gone outside with my dog just before midnight and there were a fair amount of police outside Ancrum Court,” she said.

“Someone told me they had heard shouting and swearing and that a man had been badly hurt.

“It makes you worried about leaving your home after dark. It’s getting worse and worse round here.

“I hope they get whoever did this.”

Detective Constable Kieran Bradley said: “We are eager to speak to anyone who witnessed the disturbance.

“In particular we would like to hear from you if you have private CCTV footage showing anything that could help with our inquiries.

“Anyone who can help is asked to call Dundee CID via 101, quoting incident 5075 of April 3, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
