Man sentenced for serious assault of police officer in Aberdeen

A man has been sentenced to five months in prison for the serious assault of a police officer in Aberdeen.

Dylon Guyan, 19, carried out the attack on Auchinyell Road, Aberdeen, on Sunday, 30 June, 2024, when officers responded to a report of concern for a person.

He pled guilty on Wednesday, 9 January, 2025, and was sentenced at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Friday, 21 February, 2025.
