Lothian and Borders Police are appealing for information to trace a woman who was involved in an altercation with a man in Edinburgh on Sunday afternoon.
A witness who saw a disturbance between the elderly lady and a man outside the Cameo Cinema on Home Street about 4.40pm called police as it was reported that the man had taken something from the woman, but had then given it back.
The woman is believed to be between 65-70-years-old.
A police spokesman said: “We are appealing for the woman to come forward, although nothing may have been taken, we are still keen to establish exactly what happened.
“In addition, we would ask anyone else who may have been in the street at the time, and who may have witnessed this incident, to get in touch on 0131 311 3131.”
Anyone with information should contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or the charity Crimestoppers in confidence and complete anonymity on 0800 555 111.

Today our two photos show the uneven surface at the junction of Northumberland Street and Nelson Street. If you are a car driver then this is pretty uneven but on a bike it is ten times worse! Where is your local pothole or uneven road surface?
