A 17-year-old youth has been arrested and charged in connection with the assault of two youths in Portobello.
Officers were called to reports of an altercation at around 4.55pm on Monday 25 June in the High Street area where two boys aged 15 and 17 sustained facial injuries.
The 17-year-old is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today (Friday 6 July).
Local Area Commander Chief Inspector Kevin McLean said: “Although we have now charged someone in connection with this incident, we are still appealing for information.
“Such behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated, and we will always ensure it is robustly investigated.
“I would encourage anyone who may have been in the Portobello area in the early evening of Monday 25 June, and can assist with ongoing inquiries, to come forward as soon as possible.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3167 of 25 June, or report this anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
