A woman has been charged after a dog attacked her and three other people at a property in Aberdeen.

Police arrived at the property on Crown Street at about 5.15pm on Tuesday, September 6, after receiving reports of a dog attack.

Officers confirmed that four people aged 25, 27, 55 and 57 were treated for injuries at the scene before being taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

A 27-year-old man and 57-year-old woman have since been discharged, and the woman has been charged in connection.

It is not yet known if any serious injuries were sustained during the incident.

Inquiries are currently ongoing to establish what happened with a report due to be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
