Eight police officers sustained minor injuries in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Police Scotland said they were “subjected to unprecedented levels of violence” by a minority of people on Bonfire Night in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
“A minority of individuals have been responsible for an unacceptable and frankly, disgusting level of disorder that left communities alarmed and police officers injured. Police Scotland said there were a small number of arrests made with further arrests anticipated to follow in the coming days as investigations continue.In Dundee, two police vehicles were struck by bricks, while in Glasgow two groups of youths were fighting and directing fireworks towards each other.
Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Russell Findlay branded the youths in Edinburgh “thugs”, and council leader Cammy Day warned they would be prosecuted.
