A CCTV image of a man has been released after a child was assaulted on an Edinburgh street.
At around 3.45pm on Tuesday, April 15, a child was assaulted on Cultins Road in Edinburgh. Police Scotland have now released an photo of a man who may be able to assist their enquiries into the assault.
The man pictured is described as white, 5ft 7in tall, slim build, around 30 years old with blue/green eyes, short light brown hair a light beard. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a dark coloured zip-up bomber jacket with a hood, dark coloured tracksuit bottoms, and black and white trainers.
Constable Ross Murray said: “The man pictured is believed to have information that could help with our enquiries into this assault. If this is you, or you recognise the man, please get in touch.
“Anyone who can assist is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 2191 of April 15, 2025. Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 anonymously.”
We previously reported that, in a separate incident, a man was charged in connection with the alleged assault of a toddler in a Scots play park.
A 31-year-old man was arrested and formally charged in connection after police received a report of an alleged attack on a three-year-old child in Stobbs Crescent in Kilwinning, Ayrshire, yesterday (Tuesday, April 15) at around 3.40pm.
Officers raced to the area and the male was traced in a “play park nearby”. A report was submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
The Daily Record has been running the Our Kids… Our Future campaign which aims to highlight and end a spate of horror attacks on young people across the country.
This spawned after articles on a series of horrific attacks on young people which sparked a fresh debate on how to end this cycle of violence fuelled by a desire for online clicks, where some teenagers were filming themselves taking part in scarcely believable acts of aggression.
