Multiple police units raced to an incident in Dundee’s Blackness Road today.
Officers, some in riot gear, surrounded an address on the West End street. Ambulance and units from the Scottish Fire and Rescue were also in attendance.
An eye-witness told The Courier he was walking home from university around 11am when he saw “loads of police” surrounding a block of flats in Blackness Road.
The 24-year-old nursing student said: “It looked like a police raid. There were about four or five police vans, two riot vans and a dog van plus an ambulance and a fire engine there.
“I don’t know what was happening but there was a first floor window open at the flat. There were two police officers at the front of the close and lots of police round the back in full riot gear.
“I went into the shop and everybody was talking about it but nobody knew what was happening.
“When I went outside I then heard a policewoman shouting: ‘Everybody get off the street’ and then I saw a guy with his hands up in the air and the police grabbed him and took him away.”
A female eyewitness told The Courier: “There were an enormous number of police in full riot gear, five or six vans and ambulance and a fire engine parked round in Seymour Street.”
It is understood police attended the address at 8.45am over concern for a man.
Police later confirmed a man had been arrested.
