A 58-year-old man suffered serious head injuries after allegedly being pushed down the stairs following an argument at Edinburgh Haymarket just before 10pm on Thursday night.

attempted murder and assaulting another 32-year-old man, who suffered facial
injuries.

Detective inspector Brian McAleese, from British Transport

being pushed down the stairs and another assaulted.

“Thankfully officers were quickly on scene and a 35-year-old
man was arrested.

“I’d now urge anyone who may have witnessed the incident or
the events leading up to it to get in touch with us as soon as possible to
assist with our enquiries”.
