Four men aged 33, 34, and two aged 17 have been arrested and charged in connection with a serious assault in Danderhall.

A large number of officers attended the scene at Edmonstone Terrace around 2.40pm on Sunday afternoon and one man who was seen standing on a rooftop was later arrested in a garden by officers wearing riot gear.

A spokesman added: “A multi-agency response took place and one man, 35, was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment to serious but non-life threatening injuries.

“Four men, aged 33, 34, 17, and 17 have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident. They are expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court at a later date.
