A man and a woman have appeared in court charged in connection with an alleged stabbing in Buckie over the weekend.
One woman, aged 32, had to be airlifted to hospital for emergency treatment after a disturbance near the Scotmid store on Milton Drive shortly before 1pm on Sunday June 11.
Ashley Reaich, 32, and Lauren Harper, 30, appeared in private at Elgin Sheriff Court on Monday.
They’re both charged with assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement and danger to life.
Reaich is also charged with being in possession of a knife or pointed implement.
Both accused, whose addresses were given as the Moray area, made no plea when they appeared in the dock.
Harper was committed for further examination and released on bail, while Reaich was remanded in custody, pending further examination.
Over the weekend, police sealed off Buckie’s Milton Drive as officers carried out inquiries at the scene, after the ordeal on Sunday.
It’s understood that an alleged altercation occurred close to the Scotmid store, followed by an air ambulance landing on the grounds of nearby Millbank Primary School.
One woman wounded
Police and paramedics were called to the Moray town shortly before 1pm following reports of a serious assault.
After being assessed by medics, a wounded woman was transferred to the air ambulance.
“The 32-year-old woman was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment,” a police spokeswoman said.
Reaich will reappear in court within the next eight days, while Harper’s next appearance in the dock has not yet been confirmed.
