Police have launched a major probe after a man was attacked in Dundee.
Officers cordoned off a block of flats in the city’s Cunningham Street last night.
They responded to reports of a disturbance in the area just after 8pm.
It was later confirmed a 51-year-old man had been assaulted - it is understood he did not require any hospital treatment.
Witnesses described seeing a large police presence, including forensics officers, at the scene through the evening.
Officers sealed off an underground carpark below the residential block of flats.
The incident is the latest in a series of violent attacks that police in Tayside have had to deal with.
Earlier this week a woman was attacked on a public footpath in Arbroath.
The incident happened in the Glenogil Drive area.
While earlier in the week an Eastern European man assaulted another person close to the town’s seafront.
