Three people have been charged after an 11-hour police stand-off at a Dundee multi.
Officers were called to Adamson Court in Lochee on Wednesday morning in connection with a disturbance.
As many as eight police vehicles were in attendance alongside paramedics and firefighters.
Locals told of officers “surrounding” the block.
One man who lives in nearby Elders Court told The Courier police in riot gear were there throughout the operation.
He said: “I’ve been astonished by what’s been going on here.
“There were police in riot gear and uniformed officers coming in and out of the block for hours.
“Two men and a woman were placed in handcuffs but they were all taken out at different points.
“The police were positioned at the side of the multi near the playpark throughout the afternoon.
“When I kept thinking it was over, more police would arrive. At one point there were three sets of paramedics here.
“The operation seemed to scale back significantly just after 8pm but at one point there were eight police vehicles here.”
Another eyewitness said: “The whole area around Adamson Court was crawling with police for hours.
“They arrived just after 9am and I’ve never seen so many police at once – not even here.
“They pretty much surrounded the multi and I saw officers heading inside on several occasions.”
One resident said fire crews arrived just before 6pm.
He said: “I saw the firefighters going onto the same landing where the police had been positioned all day.
“It was concerning to see what was unfolding but scenes like this have become part and parcel of living here.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9am on Wednesday, police were called to the Adamson Court area of Dundee, following a report of a disturbance.
“One person, a 54-year-old man, was taken to Ninewells Hospital as a precaution.
“Two men, aged 38 and 54, and a woman aged 35, were arrested and charged in connection and are due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Thursday.”
