A 45-year-old man and 17-year-old girl have been arrested after sustaining injuries during an incident in a police vehicle in Perth.

Stuart Lymer and the teenager, both from Staffordshire, had been escorted from a train in the city on Monday.

The pair - who had previously been reported missing - are being treated in hospital, although their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

Police in Staffordshire had previously issued an appeal to trace the pair, who are undergoing treatment in Dundee.

Assistant Chief Constable John Hawkins said: "Following an incident yesterday within a police vehicle in Perth, a 45-year-old man and 17-year-old woman have been arrested.

"Both are currently undergoing treatment at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee as a result of injuries sustained during the incident at Perth.

"They are expected to appear at court from custody over the coming days, after being released from the hospital."

A spokesman for the PIRC said: "We can confirm that we have received a referral from Police Scotland in relation to the serious injury of a 17-year-old woman and 45-year-old man who were being transferred in a police vehicle to Perth Police Office on 5 March, 2018.
