Appeal after fight on Shire path

Police want to speak to a man who could assist with enquiries after a report of an altercation on the Old Deeside Railway Line last month.

An incident was reported to officers at around 7.20pm on Monday May 28, 2018, on the line near to Morrison Drive in Garthdee. A 36-year-old cyclist sustained an injury to his face which required treatment at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

PC Paul Smith, who is leading enquiries, said: "We are following several lines of enquiry in relation to this incident however would be very keen to speak to a man described as being in his 40s who was walking a dog in the area at the time and could assist. We understand he was with a woman of a similar age who was walking a spaniel-type dog.
