A young footballer has told how he felt “scared” during an alleged robbery bid, a trial has heard.
David Dangana, 19, gave evidence in the trial of Kyle Cameron, 28, Lana McAllister, known as Smart, 30, and Shaun Stewart, known as Paton, 33, at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
The trio are accused of assault to injury over an alleged incident involving the player, who was on the Aberdeen substitutes’ bench last weekend.
Under questioning from prosecutor Sally McAuley, David said he had been driving home when he was flagged down in the city’s Fairlie Street by a woman he identified as Smart.
He said the woman asked, “Where is it?” and he replied: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
David said one of the men then banged on the driver’s door window with the handle of a kitchen knife until it smashed.
He said: “I was just panicking, scared.”
McAuley said: “Did you have any drugs in your car?” He said he didn’t.
He said the other male, who he identified in court as Cameron, asked him for his wallet before punching him twice in the face.
Cameron, Smart and Stewart all pled not guilty to the charge against them.
The trial continues.
