Police Scotland condemns disorder in Kirkton area of Dundee

Chief Superintendent Phil Davison said: "There is no justification for the behaviour and disorder which was seen in the Kirkton area of Dundee last night.

"Enquiries are ongoing to identify everyone involved.

"Throwing fireworks and other items towards emergency services is reckless and dangerous. No one should go to work and expect to be attacked.

"One officer suffered a minor injury and damage was caused to a school and a number of vehicles.

"I would like to reassure the public of Dundee that we remain committed to keeping them safe as we understand last night’s behaviour must have been really distressing for residents in the areas.

"We have a range of highly-trained public order officers available to policing commanders across Scotland to enhance resources and deal with any issues that arise. Officers will be patrolling the local areas to provide public reassurance.

"I would appeal to anyone who knows who was involved in the disorder, or has any information from last night, to contact Police Scotland on 101."
