Detectives in Edinburgh have released images of a man they are looking to trace after a woman was attacked on Portobello High Street.
Police want to speak to the male pictured after an "extremely upsetting" incident on the street, close to the junction of Sir Harry Lauder Road, in the early hours of Sunday, July 25.
They say the man is described as being around 35 to 40 years old, 5ft 11ins, of average build and with short hair. He spoke with a local accent and was wearing jeans and a navy top.
Detective Constable Neil Donaldson said: “Fortunately this woman was not injured, but she was left extremely upset by what has happened and we are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time of the assault.
“In particular we would like to speak to the man pictured who was in the area at the time and may have further information to assist our enquiry. We would also ask anyone who was driving in the area and might have seen something that could help with our enquiries, or have dash-cam footage, to get in touch.
“If you can help please contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0241 of Sunday, 25 July, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
