A 34-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and officers are appealing for the help of the public.
Detective Inspector Gary Smillie said: “The area was busy at the time and I am appealing to anyone who witnessed this incident and who has not already spoken to police to contact us.
“I would also appeal to anyone who was in the area around the time and who may have dash-cam footage or private CCTV which could assist to get in touch.
“I would also like to extend my thanks to the residents nearby who were impacted by this for their patience and cooperation and the other emergency services for their support.”
