A man has been charged with attempted murder following an alleged knife attack in a Perthshire town.

Three people were taken to hospital after a disturbance at house in Auchterarder on Friday night.

Neighbours said there was a large police presence in Sydney Crescent for most of the weekend.

On Monday, Stephen Bertie appeared at Perth Sheriff Court in connection with the incident.

He faces allegations that he tried to murder James Irvine by repeatedly striking him with a knife – or similar weapon – to his severe injury and to the danger of his life.

It is further alleged that Bertie, 29, attacked Marion Irvine and Stewart Henderson and struck them with some kind of blade to their injury and disfigurement.

Bertie, from Auchterarder, is also accused of stealing a mobile phone and bottle of alcohol.

It is alleged that at Perth police station, he assaulted Sergeant Ian Lennox and spat in his face.

And it is further alleged that, at Stanley Crescent, he did resist, obstruct and hinder three constables and did attempt to push past them to enter a crime scene.

Bertie is also accused of behaving in a threatening or abusive manger which was likely to cause fear or alarm by shouting, swearing and uttering threats of violence.

 

He made no plea and was remanded in custody.
