He was walking back from his restaurant near Union Street when it happened.

Investigating Officer PC Alan Gordon said: "With festive celebrations ongoing Aberdeen city centre was busy last night with people out socialising. I would ask that if anyone saw this incident to contact us. In particular, we believe two males wearing black jackets and jeans may have information that could assist us with our enquiries.
