Cops release CCTV footage of man after multiple women attacked in Edinburgh park

Police have issued CCTV of man they want to question in relation to a number of attacks on woman in Edinburgh.

The "inappropriate" incidents happened in the Meadows area of the city last week.

Officers said a number of women were approached separately by a man near Melville Drive on Monday 11 January.

A man, described as Asian, aged 20 to 30-years-old, about 5ft 7 ins to 5ft 9 ins and of a skinny build, wearing a dark slim-fit puffer style jacket, was seen at the time.

Detective Inspector George Calder said: “A number of women were approached by a man who assaulted them and we believe the man shown in these images can help with our enquiries.

“Officers are also keen to speak to anyone may have seen the man walking towards the city centre or near Argyle Place or who may have dash-cam footage, particularly from driving along Melville Drive at that time of night.

“Anyone who has not spoken to officers already and may be able to help identify the man, or the man himself, can contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 3502 of 11 January 2021.

“They can also call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
