A man has appeared in court charged with a murder bid following an alleged “stabbing” on a street in Edinburgh.
Amar Mudawi was charged with danger to life and attempted murder, assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement and robbery and made no plea when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on April 15.
The 21-year-old, from the capital, was committed for further examination and remanded in custody. He will appear again within the next eight days.
Police swooped after they received reports of a disturbance on Bath Street and Mentone Avenue in Portobello last night, Saturday, April 12 at around 10.55pm and found the three boys, aged 17, 18 and 18, with injuries.
Officers have launched a probe into the incident and it is understood that two police helicopters could be seen circling the area for hours through the night, reports Edinburgh Live.
The teens were rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and are all believed to be stable.
An image from the scene shows two officers standing by a cordon, with a police vehicle parked in the middle of the road.
A section of the promenade and Mentone Avenue were also locked down as police scoured the area.
A Police Scotland spokesperson added: “Around 10.55pm on Saturday, 12 April 2025, three men, aged 17, 18 and 18 years, were found injured following a report of a disturbance in Bath Street and Mentone Avenue, Portobello, Edinburgh.
“They remain in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where medical staff describe their condition as stable. Enquiries into the incident are continuing.”
