Constable Callum Forbes was waiting for back-up when he raced to the scene of a disturbance.
Information had been passed on to police that the person involved was also responsible for causing potentially life-threatening injuries to a member of the public who had been stabbed outside of a pub in Dunfermline on November 13, 2019.
As soon as he got there, Constable Forbes heard screaming and, despite being alone, entered and confronted the man.
In the face of an extremely hostile environment, he used his communication skills to keep the occupants calm until other officers arrived to support him.
In the end, his courageous actions and awareness led to the arrest of a particularly violent individual.
