Two men appear in court over supermarket disturbance
Paul Douglas and Jay Longmuir appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court
Two men appeared in court today following a late night "disturbance" outside a city shopping arcade.
Police cordoned off part of an Aldi's supermarket car park in Aberdeen following an "incident" on Tuesday night during which a man was hurt.
The man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment although it is understood he did not suffer life threatening injuries.
Police said the alleged altercation, which took place around 9.30pm in the city's Cornhill area, appeared to be a "targeted attack".
Paul Douglas and Jay Longmuir, both 23, appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court yesterday/today in connection with the case.
They are both accused of having a firearm or imitation firearm in public as well facing charges relating to having offensive weapons and blades in their possession.
They are further accused of having controlled drugs in their possession and being concerned in the supply of drugs.
Douglas, from Dundee, and Longmuir, from Kirriemuir, both made no plea and no declaration.
The pair were released on bail.
The date for their next court appearance has yet to be set.
