A 58-year-old man has been injured after an industrial accident at a primary school in Broughty Ferry.
Emergency crews first responded at around 11.40am on Monday following reports of the accident at Forthill Primary School.
Locals told The Courier they spotted a large emergency service presence in the area around the school on Fintry Place, with crews still on the scene later on Monday afternoon.
School closed for Easter holidays
It is unlikely any pupils were in the building at the time, with Monday marking the first day of the Easter holidays.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 11.40am on Monday, police attended after receiving report of an industrial accident on the grounds of Forthill Primary School.
“A 58-year-old man was taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital.”
It is understood work is taking place on the building involving council staff, with local authority vans parked outside the school on Tuesday.
Dundee City Council has not confirmed any further details.
A spokesperson said: “Following an incident at Forthill Primary School on Monday, the council is now assisting Police Scotland and the Health and Safety Executive with their investigations.
“It would not be appropriate to comment further while these inquiries are ongoing.”
A spokesperson for the Health and Safety Executive said: “HSE has been made aware of the incident and will consider what action to take when further information has been provided by the police and local authority.”
