Police have arrested a man in connection with a sexual assault in Leith after members of the public identified him from CCTV footage released yesterday.

Officers appealed to the public for assistance after a 23-year-old woman was the victim of a sexual assault in the early hours of Monday 14th April while walking in Henderson Street.

Following a positive response, officers have charged a 20-year-old man and he will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday.

Police Scotland would like to thank the public for their considerable assistance with this matter and their continued support.
