A 13-year-old boy and a 36-year-old woman have been charged after a girl aged 12 was attacked on a Dundee street.
Five police units were called to Hilltown just after 8pm on Monday, near the junction with Kinghorn Road.
Paramedics were also at the scene during a night of “chaos” which saw the road closed for a short time.
One man who lives nearby says several people tried to help calm the situation before police arrived.
He told The Courier: “I was sitting in my house when I heard arguing outside on the street.
‘It was chaos’
“It was chaos here with a large number of people involved.
“People were getting out of cars trying to get the situation under control.
“There were five police vehicles and paramedics in attendance – it was bedlam.
“The ambulance was here for well over an hour but due to the commotion, cars couldn’t get down the street.”
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Around 8.20pm on Monday, we received a report that a 12-year-old girl had been assaulted on Hilltown, Dundee.
“Officers attended and a 36-year-old woman and a 13-year-old boy have been charged.
“Reports will be sent to the relevant authorities.”
The Scottish Ambulance Service confirmed one patient was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment.
