Police in Edinburgh have launched an attempted murder investigation after a man was deliberately knocked off his motorbike yesterday (Thursday July 28).
The incident happened around 1:45pm on Ferry Road Drive, and officers believe it was a targeted attack.
A 24-year-old man suffered serious injuries, he's in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where medical staff described his condition as stable.
The occupants of the black fiat panda involved, which was previously reported stolen from the same area, made off from the scene.
Police are now appealing for anyone with information, witnesses or those with dashcam footage to come forward.
Superintendent Mark Rennie said: “Violence of this nature won’t be tolerated in any part of the city. This is a prime example of a small number of young people creating fear and concern in a local community.
"Our investigation is progressing well and we will have an enhanced policing presence in the area to reassure local residents and prevent any further disorder. Every single person involved in recent incidents in the area will be pursued and arrested and we will ensure that identified offenders are quickly put before the courts.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 1820 of Thursday, 28 July, 2022. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
