At least five people involved in the armed brawl
Police have launched an attempted murder probe
A woman can be heard screaming “run” — before a Mini parked on the grass tears off hitting a man who was scooped onto its bonnet.
Police have launched an attempted murder probe with at least five people involved in the armed brawl.
Detective Sergeant Emma Low said: “Officers were called to a report of a vehicle within the park and a disturbance taking place.
“A 51-year-old man attended hospital following this incident.
“His XL bully dog died as a result of the disturbance.
“Enquiries are ongoing to trace everyone involved.
“Our investigation is at an early stage to establish the exact circumstances surrounding this incident.”
The 22-second video opens with a masked attacker lunging towards two figures crouching at the front of the motor in Eric Hendrie Park in the Mastrick area of the city.
Dressed all in black, they raise a machete over their heard before a white and black bully charges and pins them to the side of the car.
He can be seen thrashing at the animal before a heavier man runs towards him holding what appears to be a hammer or hatchet before aiming it at his head.
They scuffle before another attacker with a machete wades into the melee.
The Mini’s engine can be heard revving as its wheels spin before it drives off drives off lifting a man off his feet.
A woman yells “Willie” and “Ian” as the dog barks and the group fight in the distance in the footage captured around 8.30pm on Sunday and shared widely online.
Police confirmed a 51-year-old was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with severe injuries.
His condition is described as serious but stable.
