Police are hunting for a group of men who attacked three young brothers in the early hours of New Year's Day.
The brothers, aged 15, 16 and 20, were attacked as they were walking home in Victoria Street, Dundee, close to the Skyaxe kickboxing club between 12.30am and 2am last Wednesday.
The 16-year-old was taken to Ninewells Hospital in the city for treatment to a broken wrist and injuries to his face.
The 20-year-old brother sustained a broken finger and cuts to his face and the 15-year-old suffered a number of cuts and bruises, police said.
The attackers are believed to have been in a group of about 12 people in the area, all aged in their late 20s or early 30s.
Two of the attackers were men wearing kilts, white shirts and black waistcoats, one had blonde hair and the other had black hair.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to the attack to contact them and they are particularly keen to hear from a woman who was in the area at the time.
She is in her late teens with dark hair tied back in a ponytail and was wearing a light-coloured jacket.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
