Probe after knife attack in Dundee
A MAN reportedly stabbed a woman before turning a knife on himself multiple times.
Emergency services — including eight police vehicles and an ambulance crew — were called to West Pitkerro Industrial Estate just before 5pm yesterday.
It is understood two people were taken to Ninewells Hospital with serious injuries.
Police Scotland have launched an investigation into the incident.
A spokesman said today: “Police Scotland attended an incident at West Pitkerro Industrial Estate in Dundee at 4.50pm yesterday after reports of an assault.”
Residents today spoke of their shock at seeing the heavy police presence.
Jim Petrie, a business owner in the estate, said that he had never seen so many police officers in his life.
He added: “There was police everywhere and there was a guy lying on the ground with about four police officers surrounding him.
“There were about eight police cars in total and an ambulance there too.
“Police dogs were out searching the area too.
“Later on, people were saying that it had been a stabbing.
“It’s a pretty quiet estate so I haven’t seen anything like it before. I have never seen so many police in my life.”
Graham Campbell, 61, a buyer working in the area, said: “I came out of my work and I saw police cars all over the place. I couldn’t get through the way I usually go to get home.
“There was tape up too — I was wondering what was going on. It was a bit of a shock.”
One witness to the aftermath said police dogs were at the scene behind the Sainsbury’s supermarket, with the area taped off.
He said: “The entrance close to Sainsbury’s was closed and Ainslie Street was closed as well. The dogs were out searching in the trees and there was police tape around the wooded area.”
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We received a call at 4.51pm yesterday to attend an incident at an address on Ainslie Street.
“We dispatched two ambulances and the first unit arrived on scene at 4.56pm. Two crews travelled to Ninewells Hospital.”
