Appeal for information after a man was seriously assaulted in Edinburgh

Detectives in Edinburgh are appealing for information after a man was seriously assaulted.

Around 10.20pm on Saturday, 20 June, 2026, we were called to a report of a man injured after being assaulted on the Innocent Railway Cycle Path, between the Bingham tunnel and Duddingston Road West area.

He suffered a serious leg injury and was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment.

Detective Constable Christopher Stewart of CID said: “We are looking to trace three men wearing dark clothing and balaclavas who were riding together on a white motorbike.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who was in area at the time or thinks they might know who the men are.

“We would also be eager to hear from anyone travelling in the area who have a dash-cam. Please check the footage, as it may have captured something which could prove vital to our ongoing enquiries.

“Any small piece of information could assist our enquiries, so please pass it on. Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting 4051 of 20 June, 2026.”
