Edinburgh police raced to Princes Street on Friday lunchtime after a cyclist crashed and suffered a head injury.
Police Scotland officers were spotted at the scene just after 12pm this afternoon when the incident was reported.
A passer-by described seeing two police vehicles at the scene, one van and a car, as officers placed items into bags.

The debris appears to have been from a cyclist who came off his bike and crashed on the busy street.
The passer-by described seeing the cyclist being treated in the back of the police van for his injuries.
It is only yards from the spot where tragic cyclist Zhi Min Soh, 23, died after being struck by a minibus in 2017.
She fell into the vehicle’s path when her bike wheels got stuck in a tram track at the junction with Lothian Road.
Edinburgh Police officers cleared the scene this afternoon and stopped traffic from becoming congested with the road understood now to be clear.
One passer-by said: "You could see police officers from two cars with the blue lights on in the road at the busy junction.
"They seemed to be picking stuff up from the road while also doing a great job keeping traffic moving.
"I saw one officer stick a bollard out between the tram tracks and railing.
"People were wandering past on their lunch break wondering what was going on.
"There was a man in the back one of the police vehicles getting bandaged up for what looked like quite a nasty head wound.
"He was sat up and talking to officers. I hope he's ok."
Police Scotland told Edinburgh Live that officers attended earlier this afternoon after a cyclist came off his bike and said cops cleared the scene afterwards.
