Man rushed to hospital after serious assault outside Edinburgh pub

A man was rushed to hospital with a head injury after being seriously assaulted outside an Edinburgh pub.

The 35-year-old was attacked at around 1am on Thursday, August 27, outside the Spey Lounge on Leith Walk.

He was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where he was treated for a serious head injury.

The suspect is believed to be male.

Police Scotland is now appealing for any information as they attempt to trace the suspect.

Detective Inspector Clark Martin, of Edinburgh CID, said: “I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident and witnessed the assault but has not yet spoken to police to come forward.

“I would also ask anyone who was driving in the area and has a dash-cam to check back and see if there is any footage that may be able to assist our investigation.”

Anyone with information can contact police on 101, quoting reference number 0307 of 27 August, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
