Armed police<\/a> have been spotted in the heart of Stockbridge by worried locals.<\/p>\n

The shocking events happened in front of locals in the normally subdued neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

In an image taken from the scene, officers wearing helmets and stab proof vests, had appeared to place two young males in handcuffs<\/a> on the corner of Hector’s Bar.<\/p>\n

It is not yet known the exact nature for the serious response <\/a>at this time though the incident happened in broad daylight.<\/p>\n

Three armed response officers were spotted in attendance at the Deanhaugh Street incident on Saturday September 13 at around 5pm.<\/p>\n

They were joined by three officers wearing high-vis vests and blue gloves who appear to be speaking to a young male with a bloodied face.<\/p>\n

The two males are stood against a wall at the junction entrance to St Bernard’s Row.<\/p>\n

Edinburgh has been at the heart of gang related violence in recent weeks though there is nothing to suggest that the response is linked to those events.<\/p>\n
