A man has appeared in court in connection with an alleged “repeated” stabbing in Dundee.
Kevin McHugh, 27, of Yarrow Terrace in the Menzieshill area of the city, was arrested following reports of a “serious” disturbance on his home street on Monday night.
He appeared in private at Dundee Sheriff Court.
He made no plea or declaration in relation to four charges on petition.
He is charged with assaulting Scott McMillan by repeatedly striking him on the body with a knife, to his injury and permanent disfigurement, at Yarrow Terrace, on Monday.
He is further charged with having a kitchen knife in a public place without reasonable excuse or lawful authority, at the same location and on the same date.
McHugh is also charged with having cannabis, a class B drug, at his home address, on the same date.
And he is charged with having diazepam, a class C drug, again at his home address, on Tuesday.
The case was continued for further inquiries and McHugh was remanded meantime.
Locals spoke of seeing up to 20 police vehicles in the area of Yarrow Terrace and Dochart Terrace following the alleged disturbance on Monday.
Residents said they became aware of officers’ activity at about 7pm.
Further units were seen in the area around 8pm, including a car carrying police dogs.
Officers were later seen taking photos at the scene.
People living nearby said folk had been left “terrified” following the level of the police response.
One man said: “There must have been about 20 police vehicles, from the dog unit and 4x4s to an unmarked Audi and patrol cars.
“They were stationed in just about every street joining on to Dickson Avenue from the Jimmy Shand right along to Charleston Drive.
Another local posted on social media: “I’ve never seen so many police cars in all my life.”
Local Laura Brooke, 56, who stays in the area, said: “There was quite a commotion in the close.”
