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.
