Police investigation on Elm Row

Police Scotland have cordoned off part of Leith Walk following a call in the early hours of this morning regarding a female who might have been injured.

When the officers attended they discovered some blood on the pavement but no trace of the woman concerned.

Enquiries are ongoing to ascertain the full circumstances although at this time there is nothing to suggest that anything sinister has taken place, and the police say that the injury could merely have been caused by a minor accident or something like a nose bleed.
