Police appeal for man who dropped off injured teen to come forward
The 17 year old was left at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on Saturday
A man in Edinburgh is being asked to come forward after taking an injured man to hospital.
A seriously injured 17 year old was brought to the Royal Infirmary around 6.20pm on Saturday August 19, but the man assisting him left before any details were taken.
He was described by police as white, in his 50s, had receding hair and was wearing glasses, a blue Adidas top and was carrying a rucksack.
Detective Sergeant Keith Morrison said: “At this time, we don’t know how the young man sustained his injuries so it is imperative that we trace the man who took him to hospital so we can find out what he knows.
“From our enquiries, the injured man was at an event in Craigmillar Park the previous evening and had become separated from his friends. They were unable to get a hold of him and it was only when he was admitted to hospital that his family were made aware of where he was.
“If you are the man described, or have any information that may assist our investigation, then please call officers at Gayfield CID via 101, quoting incident number 2960 of Saturday, 19 August 2023. Alternatively, details can be given in confidence on 0800 555 111.”
