An Edinburgh mum was subjected to a terrifying assault after two men broke into her home.
Police have appealed for information after the 47-year-old woman was hurt in her home on Wednesday while her 10-year-old daughter was at home with her.
Taking place at around 5.10pm on Parsons Green Terrace, the two men are reported to have entered the property and assaulted the woman.
