Detectives in Edinburgh are appealing for information following a serious assault which took place on Drum Street last night.

The incident happened between 11pm and 11.30pm on Saturday, 25 July, when a group of three men attacked a 29-year-old man. The victim is being treated at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with serious injuries.

The group of three men left the area in the direction of Newtoft Street. One of them is described as being in his 30s, 6ft with a muscular build and short dark hair. He was wearing a white top, dark trousers and dark shoes.

DC Dale Miles, from Edinburgh CID, said: “This was a violent and unprovoked attack, which has left the victim with serious and potentially life-changing injuries.
