A 98-year-old man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a policewoman suffered a serious injury.
Sylvester Nowak is alleged to have severely injured PC Shona Beattie, 42, and attempted to murder her by stabbing her on the arm with a knife.
The Polish war veteran is also alleged to have tried to murder her colleague PC Katie Deas, 23, by attempting to strike her head and body with a knife and an axe.
What Mr Novak may not look like.
Mr Nowak, who is thought to be the oldest person yet to be held in custody by Scottish police, faced the two attempted murder charges at Perth Sheriff Court. He is alleged to have carried out the offences at his home in Scone, Perthshire, on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr Nowak, who was born two years before the outbreak of the First World War, was detained in custody overnight before appearing on petition yesterday afternoon.
