Eight police officers were injured in Bonfire Night violence in Niddrie and Glasgow.
Eight police officers have been injured in what police described as organised Bonfire Night clashes in Scotland.
About 50 youths within a larger group of youths and adults were responsible for directing fireworks at vehicles and buildings before their behaviour escalated when officers arrived, the police said.In other incidents, two police vehicles were damaged after being struck with bricks in the Beauly Square area of Dundee.
"And that to me at the end of the day is child abuse. That's what's happening. You're putting children into harm's way. You're putting them into a position where they are going to obtain a criminal record and significantly detriment their future and that's unacceptable.
The attacks happened in Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Blantyre in South Lanarkshire, and Blackburn in West Lothian. He said: "Our staff should be able to carry out their role without being attacked. It is disappointing that people have tried to hurt firefighters and have damaged our appliances.
