Police Warn Against Misinformation as Video of 12-Year-Old in Dundee Goes Viral

The Dundee incident has stirred debate not just because a 12-year-old girl confronted a man with weapons, but because of how quickly the narrative spiraled online. 

 The video amplified as "a clash with a 'migrant'." It tapped into wider fears about immigration, cultural tension, and who is really being protected by the system.

 Police later clarified the man was a legally present Bulgarian, yet the speed of the story spreading shows how easily public anger can be fueled before facts are known. Some see this as proof that official institutions are more concerned with controlling the story than addressing why a child felt the need to arm herself in the first place. The fact that she is the one facing charges while the man walks free has also sparked questions about whether the law is being applied evenly, or if the case is being used as an example to discourage communities from resisting in ways that challenge the official line.

Authorities charged the girl with possession of offensive weapons and said she will be referred to Scotland’s less-formal children’s hearing system, which handles cases involving minors. No one else has been arrested in connection to the incident. Police emphasized that ongoing speculation and misinformation can harm community relations.

The man featured in the video—Fatos Ali Dumana—has publicly denied wrongdoing, stating he was legally in the UK with his wife and child and was merely walking in the area at the time. He told local media he would never harm anyone and felt wrongly portrayed.

Local leaders have urged restraint and caution in interpreting the footage. Dundee Councilor Nadia El‑Nakla condemned the political misuse of the incident to promote anti-immigrant narratives. She and anti-racism advocates stressed that real community concerns—like inequality, mental health, and poverty—deserve attention over sensational narratives.

A video from Dundee showing a 12‑year‑old girl holding a knife and axe while confronting a man recently gained widespread attention online. Some high-profile figures, including Elon Musk and far-right activist Tommy Robinson, reposted versions of the footage, suggesting the confrontation involved migrants. However, Police Scotland reviewed the incident and confirmed the man was a Bulgarian national—and not a migrant in the commonly understood sense—and that no evidence supports the claims made by those resharing the video.

British activist Tommy Robinson noted, “Weak politicians, ‘authorities’ and a full two tier system rigged against them.”

“A legacy media demonizing the native at every given turn, in favour of the invader, all under the guise of ‘tolerance’.”

“Young girls have been forced to fend for themselves on their own streets.”
