A former Dons player has been charged with allegedly assaulting a dog walker with a plastic ball thrower.
Doug Rougvie allegedly hit 24-year-old Liam Baxter on the head, as he was walking his dog in a park near Stronsay Drive in Aberdeen.
Rougvie won the Scottish Cup three times with the Dons in 1982, 1983 and 1984.
Mr Baxter said the football legend became “unbelievably aggressive” when his dog Molly ran over to the ex-player’s dog.
Mr Rougvie, 58, initially thought it was another woman’s dog, and allegedly began to shout at her.
He claims that Mr Rougvie then began hitting him with a plastic dog thrower.
A police spokeswoman said: “Police Scotland can confirm that a 58-year-old male has been charged and a report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.”
The incident is understood to have happened in February.
A Crown office spoksman said: “The procurator fiscal has received a report concerning an incident that allegedly occurred in Aberdeen on February 19. The report remains under cosnideration by the procurator fiscal.”
