A man has been charged with child neglect after being arrested at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Dundee.
A total of four arrests were made at the Camperdown Park music festival at the weekend as 80,000 fans enjoyed performances from the likes of The 1975, Lewis Capaldi and the Jonas Brothers.
Many ticket-holders have praised the event for its atmosphere, but there were some reports of assaults at the venue.
Police Scotland has now confirmed three men, aged 28, 29 and 30 – and a woman aged 23 – were arrested between Friday and Sunday.

It is hoped Dundee may hold more major events in future after Big Weekend was deemed a success.
The Courier has put together five key takeaways from the event – including the acts, the pricing and the venue.
It comes as fans have slated rock band Royal Blood after a video of them sulking off stage and criticising the Camperdown crowd went viral.
