A 19-year-old man has suffered a serious facial injury after a vicious Mearns street attack involving a gang of men.
Police Scotland have appealed for the public’s help following the incident in Stonehaven on Saturday March 25.
Officers received reports of an altercation in the Cameron Street area at around 11.30pm on that date, whereby the 19-year-old victim required hospital treatment for the facial injury.
It is understood at least five men were involved, aged around 18 to 20.
Constable Kerri Johnston, of the Divisional Alcohol Violence Reduction Unit, said: “I would appeal to anyone who was in the area of Allardice Street or Cameron Street at the time and saw anything to please contact police.
“It would have been busy around the time in question with people out for the night and it could be you saw something which could help.
“It’s understood the altercation started in the Allardice Street/ Cameron Street area near to the Queen’s Hotel before spilling into the rear car park at Farmfoods.
“One man has been seriously injured as a result and extensive CCTV and house-to-house inquiries are under way.
