A thug who threw a knife at NHS staff he wanted to kill while on a crack cocaine-fuelled spree of terror may spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Mark Law, 44, stormed into the Alloway Centre mental health unit with a knife he had bought earlier that day with the intent to "attack and kill staff within". After firing himself up in the toilets by making stabbing motions in front of a mirror, he lashed out at terrified reception staff through a hatch with the weapon.
Law then hurled the blade at two workers, narrowly missing them and lodging it in a computer mousepad, before legging it from the Dundee facility. He was not traced immediately after the incident on March 25 2021, only being detained by police on June 3 after assaulting and threatening a woman on Monifieth High Street on May 25.
