Video footage has emerged of an alleged murder bid at a park in Aberdeen that left a 51–year–old man in hospital and his pet XL Bully dog dead.
The man was allegedly attacked at Eric Hendrie Park – known among long–term locals as 'the Woodies' – in the Mastrick area of the city at 8.30pm on Sunday.
Footage shared among locals in the area appears to show an altercation between two men in the park, a man being ambushed by an armed gang and further video of what appears to be an XL Bully dog attacking armed men.
Police investigating the incident are treating it as attempted murder. A hunt for suspects is underway.
Horrifying footage appears to show a man in a short–sleeved shirt being set upon by a group of men in dark clothing, one of whom holds what appears to be a machete aloft as the white Mini races into view, its passenger door open.
