Car driven into group of men fighting with weapons in street violence
An investigation has been launched after a car was used to ram a group of men fighting each other with weapons in Dundee on Tuesday.
Footage of the incident, which took place at around 1.40pm, seen by STV News, appears to show six men and a woman arguing on St Clement Place.
A punch is then thrown and a fist fight ensues. A man then appears from the other side of a parked van wielding a long pole and swinging it at the group.
He is tackled to the ground and punched and kicked by three men. Car tires are heard screeching in the background before a Mini Cooper is driven into one of the men in hi-vis.
The men attack the car with the pole and attempt to punch the driver. A topless male also appears to be wielding a weapon.
The individual struck by the car gets into the nearby van which is then reversed into by the Mini. An individual wearing all black gets into the car before it flees the scene while being harried by assailants.
A 24-year-old man was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment after the incident.
A burnt-out vehicle was found in the Baldovan Woods area around 4.10pm. Detectives are carrying out enquiries to establish whether it is linked to the disturbance.
Detective inspector Craig Kelly said: 'This type of violence has no place on our streets and we are following positive lines of enquiry to identify and arrest those responsible.
'There will be an increased police presence in the area as the investigation continues.
'We are aware of videos circulating on social media and would ask anyone with information, footage, or who witnessed the incident, to please contact police.
'If you believe you can assist our investigation, or you have any further concerns, please call 101 quoting reference 1587 of May 27, 2025. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.'
