Police in Edinburgh are asking for help or information in connection with their investigations into a serious assault in the Niddrie area.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, June 17 at around 7pm, near to the junction of Niddrie Marischal Road and Niddrie Mains Road, when a 37-year-old man sustained an arm injury from another man. The suspect then made off on foot in the direction of Niddrie Marischal Place.
The 37-year-old was taken the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment where he is detained in a stable condition.
The suspect is described as a white man, aged around 30 years old with a stocky build. He is around 5ft 5” – 5ft 7″ in height.
He was wearing a light grey jumper with small Nike logo on left chest, a black body warmer with a hood, dark grey jeans, white Adidas trainers and a black baseball cap.
Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Houston said: “When this incident occurred the area would have been busy with both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, which leads us to believe there may have been a number of witnesses.
“Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact police immediately.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
