A teenager has been charged after people were chased with a weapon in Aberdeen city centre.

Officers attended a report of a male chasing other males in the Union Street area about 22:50 on Monday. It is understood a bladed weapon was involved.

Police Scotland said a 15-year-old boy and a man aged 20 were assaulted during the incident, but did not require hospital treatment.

A 16-year-old male was arrested and charged, and released on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date.

Insp Katy Townhill said: "Incidents of this nature can understandably cause concern to the local community.

"We will have additional patrols in the area to provide reassurance and anyone with concerns is encouraged to approach officers or contact Police Scotland."
