Officers also say the area was busy with people out celebrating Halloween at the time of the attack.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “We are currently investigating an assault to injury which took place at the taxi rank outside Marco Polo on Hawkhill, Dundee, between 1.35am and 1.45am on Sunday.

“Officers would like to trace a male, described as white, about 6ft and medium build with short brown hair, (who) was wearing a white or cream top or jacket and blue jeans.
