A van driver has been involved in an on-street altercation with a motorcyclist in Aberdeen city centre this morning.
This incident, which happened at traffic lights on the city’s Crown Street near the junction with Union Street, involved the male driver of a red van and a motorcyclist.

Onlookers looked shocked as the incident happened in broad daylight, which saw the driver get out of the vehicle and approach the male on the motorcycle, who was not wearing a helmet.
The motorcycle also did not have a number plate and ended up on the ground, as did its driver, as the altercation got out of hand, with the van driver putting the motorcyclist into a “headlock”.
Two police officers pulled the men apart as they attempted to deescalate the situation.
On eyewitness told The P&J that it “looked like road rage”.
A spokesman for Graeme W Cheyne Builders, who are based near Aberdeen Harbour, said they could not comment due to “not having any information” on it.
