A man and woman will appear in court today in connection with a stabbing in Buckie.
A 32-year-old woman was airlifted to hospital in Aberdeen following a disturbance on Milton Drive at about 1pm yesterday.
Police have now confirmed two people are expected to appear at Elgin Sheriff Court today in connection with the incident.
Milton Drive in Buckie was sealed off as police carried out inquiries at the scene.
It is understood the incident happened close to the Scotmid store, with the air ambulance landing in the grounds of Millbank Primary School.
Video footage seen by The P&J shows three people involved in an altercation as passers-by watched.
Buckie councillor Sonya Warren said her thoughts were with the woman taken to hospital.
She added: “I’ve had many complaints about anti-social behaviour in this part of Buckie, recently, it’s not good.
“However you never expect this sort of violence to occur, and especially not in daylight when there are children out playing and people heading to the shop.”
Buckie streets put on lockdown
Police and paramedics were called to the Moray town shortly before 1pm following reports of an assault.
After being assessed by paramedics on the ground, a female casualty was transferred onto the air ambulance before being airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for further treatment.
A police spokeswoman said: “We were made aware of a woman having been assaulted at Milton Drive in Buckie shortly before 1pm on Sunday June 11.
“The 32 year-old woman was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment.
“A 32 year-old man and a 29 year-old woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident and are expected to appear at Elgin Sheriff Court on Monday June 12.
“Reports have been submitted to the procurator fiscal.”
