A man has appeared in court after a 48-year-old was found with a serious head injury following a wedding.

Christopher Allison appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in connection with the incident.

The 27-year-old faced a single charge of assault to severe injury and danger of life.

Officers were called to the Marriott at Dyce at around 10.50pm on Saturday.

The 48-year-old man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where he was in a serious condition following the incident.

It is understood he was found injured at the top of the stairs leading down to the toilets in the hotel.
