Craigentinny Road incident: 22-year-old man rushed to hospital after targeted attack in Edinburgh

A 22-year-old man has been rushed to hospital after a violent attack at a property on Edinburgh's Craigentinny Road.

The incident, which police are describing as a "targeted" assault, happened within an address at around 9.10pm on Thursday (26 November).

Officers say the victim suffered serious injuries and was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. His condition is currently said to be stable.

Police want anyone with information, or who was in the area at the time of the incident, to come forward.

Detective Sergeant Keith Taylor of the Edinburgh Violence Reduction Unit said: "We are working to establish the full circumstances of this violent attack.

"Our enquiries so far suggest this was a targeted incident and there was no risk to the wider public.

"We would urge anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity around Craigentinny Road during Thursday evening to get in touch as soon as possible.

"We would be particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have private CCTV or dashcam footage.

"Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting incident 3352 of 26 November, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
