Police in Edinburgh have appealed for witnesses after a ten-year-old child was attacked in the city.
Officers are looking for further information after the young girl was assaulted on West Norton Place in Abbeyhill.
The incident is said to have occurred at around 4pm on Monday (December 7), however the girl was left uninjured.
