Large-scale brawl after cars ram each other

- By CONOR RIORDAN

Around 20 men began fighting after two cars were deliberate­ly rammed into each other at a roundabout.

Police Scotland was alerted to a road rage incident at Redhouse Roundabout near Glenrothes in Fife at around 8pm on Friday.

It involved a silver Audi A4 and a silver Honda Civic which were being rammed into each other on purpose.

A large-scale fight involving approximat­ely 20 men was reported to have taken place shortly afterwards in Balbeggie Avenue.

Meanwhile, another incident occurred within a few minutes of this on Main Street in Thornton when a silver BMW was involved in a collision with a silver Hyundai car.

Following the crash, a number of men – believed to be in possession of weapons – fled from the BMW on foot across fields in the direction of the A92.

Detective Chief Inspector John Anderson, from Glenrothes Police Station, said: “Officers recovered the silver Audi A4 vehicle burnt out a short time later, along with the damaged Honda and BMW vehicles. We are now keen to establish their movements before these incidents were reported. We suspect that a number of additional vehicles will have been in the area containing others involved in these incidents.”
