Three arrested after attack in Aberdeen

Three people have been arrested after a man and woman were attacked in Aberdeen city centre.

Police responded to reports of a disturbance in the Union Terrace area of the city shortly after 8pm on Saturday.

A 44-year-old man sustained serious but not lifethreatening injuries while a 17-year-old woman was also injured, although it is not believed her injuries are serious.

Both were taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

Two men, aged 15 and 17, as well as a 20-year-old woman were arrested in connection with the incident and are expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court tomorrow.

Detective Inspector David Howieson said: “We have already spoken to a number of people in connection with the incident. We know that a number of people were in the area at the time and I would specifically ask anyone who may have filmed or photographed the incident to come forward.

“This was a distressing incident for those involved, however incidents of this type are rare in Aberdeen.”
