Man hurt by black cab in suspected hit-and-run in Edinburgh
It happened in the city centre on Saturday afternoon
Police are looking for a black cab driver involved in a suspected hit-and-run in the centre of Edinburgh, which left a man with a serious ankle injury.
It happened at around 4.20pm on Saturday June 16 on Princes Street, opposite Next.
A 41-year-old man was struck by the taxi, which failed to stop and drove off from the area.
The victim sustained a serious injury to his ankle and was taken to hospital for treatment before later being released.
Police are now appealing for anyone who saw what happened to come forward.
Sergeant Fraser Wood from Edinburgh' Road Policing Unit said: "This incident resulted in the taxi's nearside wing-mirror being broken off and so it is highly unlikely that the driver would be unaware they were involved in a collision.
"We are keen to hear from members of the public who were on Princes Street at the time and witnessed what happened, or who can help us identify the person driving the taxi.
"In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to this investigation is urged to contact police immediately."
Those with information can contact the Road Policing Unit in Edinburgh via 101 and quote incident number 2658 of the 16th June.
