Police are investigating after an altercation between a pupil and a parent outside a Dundee primary school.
Officers were called to Sidlaw View Primary in Kirkton after an “exchange of words” between the pair outside the school gates escalated into a physical confrontation.
Eyewitnesses claimed the schoolchild appeared to aim kicks at the parent of another pupil and pull at her hair just as all the children streamed out of the school at the end of the day.
One witness to the incident said: “There was a fight after school involving a parent and one of the kids.
“There was kicking and hair pulling and it was literally just as the school came out.
“A lot of people were about and some tried to break it up.
“By the time the teachers came out the fight was over.”
A Police Scotland spokesman confirmed: “Police received calls just after 3pm on Friday June 12, to attend Sidlaw View Primary School.
“Reports are that there was an exchange of words between a pupil and an adult, who was the mother of another pupil, and this was followed by an altercation.
“Complaints were received from both parties.
“Officers are currently continuing with inquiries into the matter.”
Education convener Stewart Hunter said he was confident the school would take appropriate action following the investigation by Police Scotland.
