Man accused of attempted murder after alleged stabbing on Aberdeen street

A man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a 22-year-old was found with multiple stab wounds on an Aberdeen street.

Police were called to Torry’s Balnagask Road, near its junction with Girdleness Road, on the evening of Tuesday January 11 following reports of a disturbance.

A man was found seriously injured with a number of stab wounds and was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where his condition was described as stable.

And now, Andrius Lukosevicius has appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court charged in connection with the incident.

The 33-year-old faced a total of seven charges, including one of assault to severe injury, danger of life and attempted murder.

Accused was remanded in custody

He also faced a charge of possession of an article with a blade or point, possession of drugs, and four charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Lukosevicius, of no fixed abode, made no plea during the hearing and was remanded in custody while the case against him was committed for further examination.

He is expected to appear again over the matter next week.

In the wake of the incident, a 32-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman were arrested, but police later confirmed the pair had been released without charge.

A section of Balnagask Road was closed as police responded to the incident, and remained shut until around 1pm the next day.

Photos show a number of officers, as well as police cars and vans, within the taped off area.

At the time, a police spokesman said: “We were called around 7.30pm on Tuesday January 11 to a report of a disturbance in the Balnagask Road area of Aberdeen.

“A 22-year-old man sustained serious injuries and was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment and is described as being in a stable condition.”
