A man and woman were assaulted by masked attackers in an early morning incident.

The suspects went into a flat on Gorgie Road, Edinburgh, at 4am on Tuesday and attacked two people within the property.

A 29-year-old man was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with non-life threatening injuries, while a 67-year-old woman suffered minor injuries.

Detective constable Joyce Gunderson said: “This incident happened in the early hours of the morning however it’s possible that passing traffic, especially taxi drivers, may have noticed the two men leaving the property.

“If anyone remembers seeing two men acting suspiciously outside around that time, please get in touch.”
