The 27-year-old was attacked on a cycle path early Monday morning
Police are hunting a man who chased down a female cyclist and indecently assaulted her in Roseburn.
The 27-year-old was attacked on a cycle path that runs across Roseburn Terrace.
Police say she was cycling from the Drylaw area in the early hours of Monday morning.
She passed a man approaching a bridge. The male then ran after her and indecently assaulted her.
Police say the attacker is believed to be of Mediterranean or South American appearance, in his forties or fifties, around 5ft 6ins tall with short hair.
Detective Sergeant David Brady from Edinburgh's Public Protection Unit said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the woman and while she was physically uninjured, she has been left deeply upset and extremely shaken by what has happened to her.
"We have an excellent and very detailed description of the suspect and anyone who recognises this male, or who can help us trace him, should contact police immediately.
"Similarly, if you remember seeing any suspicious activity on the cycle path during the early hours of Monday, or have any other information relevant to this investigation then please also get in touch.
