Police Scotland have released images of two men they want to talk to over an Edinburgh street attack.

They believe they may hold information which might assist in relation to the serious assault on December 7 last year on Princes Street.

A 21-year-old man was seriously injured and taken to hospital – another man, aged 26, was also hurt.

One of the males is described as white, aged approximately 18 years old, slim build, short light, brown hair. He was wearing a grey coloured Nike hooded jumper, a dark coloured cross body bag and dark coloured trousers.

The other male is described as white, aged approximately 20 years old, medium build, short dark hair and dark stubble. He was wearing a black Canada Goose gilet top with a dark top underneath and dark trousers.

Anyone who has any information about the incident or who recognises the males pictured is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3251 of 07 December 2024. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where you can give your information anonymously.
