iStockPolice are on the hunt for two men after a woman was assaulted in front of her child during a break-in in Edinburgh.
At around 5.10pm on Wednesday, a woman was assaulted after two men broke into a property in Parsons Green Terrace.
The men ran off after the woman’s 10-year-old daughter began screaming and were last seen heading towards the Meadowbank area.
Police are now looking to trace the men responsible for the attack.
The suspects are both described as being white, between 30 to 40-years-old, and one was described as 6ft, of slim build and was wearing a light grey snood over his nose and mouth, grey joggers, jacket and light-coloured jumper.
The other man was described as 5ft 10, of slim build and was wearing dark joggers and fleece, had the bottom half of his face covered and was carrying an orange food delivery bag.
Detective Sergeant Gary Smyth, of Police Scotland’s Violence Reduction unit, said: “Although the victim was not seriously hurt this was a distressing experience for her and her young daughter.
“It is important we trace these men and I would urge anyone who may have seen them in the area at the time to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference 2552 of Wednesday, 9 February 2022.”
