A man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder.
Ewan Macdonald, 22, was detained by police after an incident that left two men hospitalised over the weekend.
Police said the men, both in their 30s, were found injured in the Grampian Road area of Aberdeen. They are believed to have been hurt some time between 10pm on Saturday and the early hours of Sunday morning.
The pair were taken for treatment at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
An investigation into the cause of their injuries led to a police raid on a property in the Kittybrewster area of the city on Monday night.
Witnesses reported up to 20 officers swooping on a flat in full riot gear, supported by sniffer dogs, shortly after 4pm.
Macdonald is understood to have been arrested during the police operation and appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today in connection with five charges.
Prosecutors claim he carried out an assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement and attempted murder, as well three further assaults to varying degrees of alleged seriousness.
He was also charged in connection with theft.
Macdonald, from Aberdeen, made no plea and no declaration and was remanded in custody.
He is expected to appear again in court next week.
