    A man reported to police for wandering around Aberdeen with a knife was repeatedly struck by a police car as officers tried to disarm him. Footage of the dramatic collision in the Seaforth Road area on Friday afternoon shows the man flipping over the car bonnet before getting up and striding towards another officer. Eventually police close in on the man, using a car and a police dog to cut him off - the dog was reportedly stabbed in the incident and was taken to a vet.

This is a great piece of photojournalism by Calum Watson and @MorganMSpence. Parts of Port Glasgow (and Inverclyde generally) are quite beautiful still, but the decay - in this case exacerbated by a standoff between landlords and the council - is unreal. https://t.co/8vHhxoGZqI
