A man was taken to Ninewells Hospital after he was attacked by a masked gang in a Dundee street.

Emergency services were called to the city’s Cunningham Street at about 10.30pm on Monday.

Four men approached the victim in a car, got out and assaulted him before making off.

A bladed weapon was used in the attack leaving a 29-year-old man with injuries to his wrist and shin, according to police. Eyewitnesses said the man was stabbed.

No one has been arrested in connection with the incident.

A resident of Cunningham Street said: “At about 10.30pm we heard a scream from a woman, so we automatically went to the window to see what was going on.

“Across the road, we saw a woman being chased up the street by three men in balaclavas.

“Straight after that, another man at the same close was chased by another man in a balaclava.

“All four men had weapons on them. One man in a balaclava had a meat cleaver in his hand and stabbed the man he was chasing at the top of the street.

“The situation caused a stir in the street but no-one could really identify them because their faces were hidden.

“Before the police arrived the four men managed to get away in a car.

“Four police vans and five police cars arrived two minutes after they got away and an ambulance was also on the street. Police had to close the whole street off.”

Another resident said that a police officer was stationed next to a door on the street following the incident, before forensics officers arrived today.

One local added: “We were coming back from London and got in at midnight.

“When we got back there were only two police cars on the street but we heard that someone had been stabbed earlier.

“It’s quite shocking to hear about something like that happening on your street.”

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “We were called to a serious assault in Cunningham Street at 10.30pm.

“There was a scuffle and a bladed weapon was used.

“A 29-year-old male was taken to Ninewells Hospital. His injuries were not life-threatening.

“No arrests have been made and inquiries are ongoing.”
