Police have launched an urgent appeal to trace three men in connection with a ‘serious assault’ in Edinburgh last month.
Officers have released CCTV imagery of the trio following the incident in the Pilton area of the Capital on the evening of November 24.
The men, all thought to be between the ages of 18 and 23 years old, were captured by a nearby security camera on Pilton Drive North around the time of the attack shortly after 11:30pm.
Detectives are now keen to hear from anyone who may know the men pictured in order to assist with their inquiries into the incident.
The first man is described as white, with an average build and short brown hair and was thought to be wearing a blue tracksuit top and bottoms.
The second, also white, with an average build and short brown hair was wearing a black puffa jacket and dark trousers at the time of the attack.
Officers are also keen to trace a third man, said to be white with red hair and facial hair with a stocky build.
He was thought to be wearing a grey tracksuit top with black triangle on LHS of chest, grey tracksuit bottoms with black patches to rear of his knees when captured on CCTV.
