Police release CCTV of man wanted after nasty attack in Edinburgh street

Police have released CCTV images of a suspect wanted in connection with a street attack which left a man seriously injured in hospital. A verbal altercation between the two men took place in the early hours of October 14 between Cowgate and Candlemaker Row in Edinburgh.

A 43-year-old man was pushed over during the rammy and suffered serious injuries before later seeking treatment at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

Investigators are keen to speak to a man who was caught on camera around the time of the incident and are urging anyone who recognises him to come forward.

He is described as being between 18 to 25-years-old, of a slim build with short hair and was carrying a skateboard at the time. Officers say he was wearing a grey and black hooded top, dark trousers and grey trainers.
