Man in court accused of serious assault on Summer Street in Aberdeen

A man has appeared in court charged in connection with an alleged serious assault on Summer Street in Aberdeen.

Craig Hutchins, 29, faces three charges, including assault to severe injury and danger to life and possession of a controlled drug.

Police received reports of two men being assaulted in the Union Wynd area of Aberdeen at 2.10pm on Thursday July 28.

One of the men was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment of their injuries.

Summer Street was sealed off overnight between Little Chapel Street and The Braided Fig restaurant as an investigation was launched last week.

Over the course of two days, the road was closed for around 17 hours.

Photos from the scene showed officers and forensic teams carrying out an investigation.

A 29-year-old was later charged in connection with the alleged incident.

Hutchins, of an address in the city, made no plea, was committed for further examination and released on bail.

He’ll reappear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on a date to be confirmed.
