They were all remanded in custody while the case against them was continued for further examination.

A Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service spokeswoman said they were expected to appear in court again within the next week.

It comes after a 41-year-old man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and was treated for serious injuries.

A number of diversions were put in place while the incident was dealt with on Tuesday evening.

George Street was cordoned off from the junction with Hutcheon Street to Powis Place on Tuesday at around 8.20pm, and reopened at around 1am.
