A mass beach brawl involving ‘over 100’ young thugs is being investigated by police in Dundee. The terrifying violence kicked off on Broughty Ferry beach at about 6.30pm last night.
Police confirmed officers and the Scottish Ambulance Service attended to get the situation under control.
Locals in the area took to social media to describe the chaotic scenes.
Writing on the local Broughty Ferry Facebook page, one mum said many of the group were drunk and claimed there were reports that one youngster had been 'stabbed'.
She said: “Just took the girls to broughty ferry beach had to leave early as there was over 100 kids between 12-18 absolutely steaming fighting."
And she added: “Kids getting bottled, one women said one of them has been stabbed absolutely unreal, young kids crying witnessing it.
“Whatever is going on in Dundee with young kids is actually crazy. If you have kids between these ages please make sure they’re ok!”
Another local, Chris Roth, wrote: “Was on beach around 6-7 PM and saw a mob of youngsters throw stones, bottles and sand at an elderly couple. Litter everywhere, have never seen the beach in such a state.”
While Broughty Ferry resident, Lorraine Mcintyre, added: “Think the Ferry needs community policing as there are crowds of youngsters hanging round beach area.
“There are families using the beach and the behaviour is bad. Something needs to be done as why spoil it for everyone”
Local Labour councillor Pete Shears also added his voice to the concerns.
He said: “I have requested a meeting of the council's community team, local councillors, and the police to find out what is being done about the littering and antisocial behaviour.
“Shocking scenes last night.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed officers attended the disturbance and were continuing enquiries.
They told Dundee Live: "A Police Scotland Spokesperson said: An investigation is under way following a large disturbance last night.
