Police in Edinburgh say they are following a ‘positive line of enquiry’ in connection with a reported assault in High School Wynd.
The incident took place following an altercation between a 34-year-old male cyclist and the driver of a vehicle around 6.25pm on Friday 20 September 2024.
A video posted online shows the cyclist initially speaking to a female in front of the vehicle before the male driver emerges from the driver’s side and throws the cyclist to the ground.
The clip has so far been viewed almost six million times, and clearly shows the identity of the alleged assailant, his partner and the registration number of the car. We are unable to report any of these details as a police investigation is underway.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 6.25pm on Friday, 20 September, 2024, we received a report of a male cyclist being assaulted during an altercation with the male driver of a car in High School Wynd, Edinburgh.
“The 34-year-old victim was taken to hospital to be checked over and officers are following positive lines of enquiry in relation to the incident.”
