Appeal after teenager assaulted near Arran Drive, Dundee

Police Scotland is appealing for witnesses after a teenager was assaulted in Dundee.

Between 9am and 10am on Sunday, 28 March, 2021, a 17-year-old man was walking west along the fence line of a grassy area between Arran Drive and Charleston Drive.

A red Seat car which was being driven on Arran Drive stopped and five males got out of the vehicle and assaulted the teenager.

He was left with an injury to his hand and shoulder which required hospital treatment.

The suspects are all described as men, aged between 18 and 21-years-old.

Constable Claire Gorman from Lochee Police Station said: “This was a senseless unprovoked attack which has left the teenager injured as a result. Nothing was said between the victim and the suspects who are believed to have left the area along Arran Drive in the vehicle.

“We’re eager to hear from anyone who witnessed the assault, or who saw the red Seat vehicle in the Charleston area of Dundee on Sunday morning, to come forward and assist with our enquiries.”

Those with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote incident number 1027 of 28 March 2021. Alternatively an anonymous report can be given to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
