A second man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder following a serious assault in West Pilton on the evening of Wednesday 1 October.
The 24-year-old is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court tomorrow morning, Wednesday 8 October. An 18-year-old man was previously charged with attempted murder and appeared before the same court on Monday 6 October.
The 37-year-old victim sustained serious injuries as a result of the incident and he remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Boyd said: “The investigation continues into this serious assault, and we are following a positive line of enquiry. We are still keen to speak to anyone with information about the assault and also concerning the theft of the victim’s car prior to that. Anyone with information about either incident should contact Police Scotland on 101 or alternatively, the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
