Man, 27, reported to prosecutors after Dundee Asda security guard attacked with bottle

A 27-year-old man has been reported to prosecutors after a security guard at a Dundee Asda supermarket was attacked with a glass bottle.

Police were called to Asda at Milton of Craigie shortly after 2am last Tuesday following reports of a “disturbance” at the supermarket.

A 20-year-old man – understood to be a security guard at the store – was taken to Ninewells Hospital as a precaution.

As a result, Asda has “temporarily” cut the store’s opening hours, saying “the safety of our colleagues is a top priority”.
