Stabbing at T in the Park campsite

By Katy Gordon on Jul 13, 08 11:03 AM in

Tayside Police officers are hunting for two men believed to be involved in the stabbing of a 22-year-old man in the Yellow area of the festival campsite.

The incident occurred around 12.40am this morning, and the victim, believed to be from Airdrie, suffered multiple stab wounds. He was treated on the scene by first aiders, and was then taken by ambulance to Dundee's Ninewells Hospital, where his condition was described as "serious but stable". His parents have been contacted, however a name has yet to be released.

The area of the campsite where the horrific crime took place has been cordoned off for forensic examination and officers on the scene are taking witness statements.

Two men are being sought in connection with this crime. The first is described as white, late teens, about 6'1 with a skinny build and short dark brown hair. He was said to be wearing a white tracksuit top.

The second man is described to be white, 5'8 with medium build, with short dark brown hair in a mullet style and wearing a red tracksuit top.

Police officials say that given the severity of the assault both men are likely to have bloodstained clothing.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information should contact Tayside Police on 0845 6005705 or any officer or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
