A teen has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal over hospitalising a young man who was chased into the road and hit by a coach before being attacked.
On Tuesday October 21, at around 2.50pm, a 17-year-old boy was approached by two males who got off the number 22 bus near the Gyle Centre in Edinburgh.
The victim was chased by one male, also thought to be 17, into the road, where he was hit by a coach travelling in the opposite direction. The victim was then attacked whilst on the ground.
The young man was then rushed to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with serious injuries.
A teenage male has now been reported to the Procurator Fiscal and Children’s Reporter in connection with the serious assault.
Detective Sergeant John Dunn said: “We’d like to thank the public for their assistance with our enquiries.”
He previously said: “This was a violent, unprovoked attack and we are carrying out extensive enquiries to track down the male responsible.
“We believe there were members of the public who will have witnessed the incident and are yet to speak to police, so we would encourage anyone with information to please come forward.
“Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident 1855 of 21 October. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson added: “A teenage male has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal and Children’s Reporter in connection with a serious assault at South Gyle Access, Edinburgh.
“The incident took place around 2.50pm on Tuesday, 21 October, 2025.
“A 17-year-old male was hit by a coach and attacked, resulting in serious injuries which were treated at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.”
