A taxi driver was attacked by two dogs in the forecourt of an Aberdeen petrol station.

Amir Hijazi was filling up his car on Great Northern Road when he was bitten on the foot by one of the "pitbull-type" dogs.

The other leaped on his chest, knocking him over and leaving the 31-year-old with an injured wrist.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We have been made aware of an incident in the early hours of Saturday morning at Great Northern Road in Aberdeen and inquiries into the matter are ongoing.

"Efforts have been made by officers to make contact with the complainer and arrangements are currently being made to take a formal statement."

Mr Hijazi is due to meet officers on Wednesday.

A spokesman for the Scottish SPCA said: "We are sorry to hear of this incident which must have been extremely distressing.

"It is ultimately the responsibility of the owner to ensure their pet is kept under control at all times.

"Anyone with an animal that shows aggression towards another animal or person has a responsibility to rectify this problem immediately."
