A 14-year-old boy has been charged following a serious assault in the city centre which took place around 10.35pm on Monday 23rd July in Princes Street.
A 37-year-old man sustained serious injuries to his face and was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment.
Detective Constable John Dunn from Gayfield CID said: “This attack left a man with a number of facial injuries and requiring stitches.
“We’ve been conducting a robust investigation since and have received a significant response from the public, which we’re very grateful for.
“A 14-year-old will now be reported to the Children’s Reporter and, following our enquiries, we are not seeking anyone else in connection with this.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter.
