Two men have been arrested following two ‘serious assaults’ in Dundee.

Three police cars, one police van and two ambulances descended on Strathmartine Road in Coldside just before 3pm on Tuesday.

Emergency services transported at least one of the arrested men to Ninewells Hospital.

Courier reporter Ben MacDonald attended the scene and saw blood splattered across a doorway.

It is unclear whether one or two people were taken hospital as Police Scotland and the Scottish Ambulance Service have made conflicting statements.

A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call at 2.57pm to attend an incident on Strathmartine Road, Dundee.

“Two ambulances were dispatched to the scene and one patient was transported to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.”

” Two men, aged 40 and 34, were arrested in connection with serious assaults.
