A 27 year old man has been charged in connection with an attack on a young woman which took place around 6.30am on Tuesday 25 June 2013 in the Canongate.
The victim was allegedly dragged into a close at Old Tolbooth Wynd, but the assailant was apparently disturbed by a passing jogger.
Last week, Detective Sergeant Iain Ramsay appealed for anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen or heard a distressed female, or spotted a man fitting the description given running down the Canongate to get in touch, and indicated that the police were following a positive line of enquiry.
The man is scheduled to appear from custody at Edinburgh Sheriff Court later today.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
