Young dancers in Carnoustie were left cowering in fear after their studio was attacked by a hooded mob on Halloween.
Dance teacher Fiona Forbes had to run into the night to disperse the gang who had gathered outside her Angus Centre for Performing Arts.
Fiona said the group of around 10-15 teenagers – wearing hoods and with their mouths covered with scarves – shouted obscenities at students and staff while opening the front doors and pelting the building with eggs at around 7pm.
Fiona said: “Each year we get egged. We think to yourselves it is just kids being kids and we ride it out. But this was brazen. It is just too far.
A Police Scotland spokesman confirmed they had received a report about a disturbance on Terrace Road and “enquiries were now ongoing.”
