Police are looking for two men following an assault in Aberdeen.
Officers were called to Hutcheon Street at 5.45pm yesterday after reports of a disturbance.
A man was left with facial injuries after the attack in the city centre.
Three police cars were seen in the street as officers cordoned off an area, at the junction with Fraser Road, as investigators bagged evidence lying in the street.
Among the items officers could be seen lifting into a van were a push bike and fluorescent green backpack, similar to those used by bike couriers.
A 28-year-old man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary by ambulance following the incident.
The facial injuries he sustained are not thought to be life threatening.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said initial inquiries were taking place in the Fraser Court area following the incident.
He said: “At 5.45pm we received a call to the Hutcheon Street area of Aberdeen following reports of a disturbance.
“A man has been injured following an assault and has non-life threatening injuries. We had received a number of phone calls from the local area regarding the incident and had a number of crews attend.
“We are looking to speak to two men in connection with the incident.”
