An Aberdeen man who had a top bearing the name of an outlaw bike gang in his car has been jailed after attacking members of a rival motorcycle club.
Ian Ewing, 44, was convicted of attempting to murder and assaulting bikers on the A98 road near Cullen, on September 8 2018.
A jury at the High Court in Edinburgh saw shocking video footage of Ewing and a group of others attacking members of the Nomads, the rival gang.
Jurors witnessed footage of Ewing and his sidekicks striking Colin Sutherland, John Sutherland, Edward Forrest and Nicky Syratt with a claw hammer, a tyre iron and a baseball bat.
Moments earlier Ewing had driven his Vauxhall Insignia at Colin Sutherland and collided with the motorcyclist forcing him to fall off his bike.
