Emergency services were called after the man, 36, was punched in the face at a bus stop on South Bridge at around 11.50pm on Friday, May 31, by a man unknown to him.
The victim then travelled home from another bus stop, and later attended the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment to a broken jaw.
Police are now searching for a man described as white, of slim build, and was wearing a white and blue t-shirt and a rucksack at the time of the attack.
Detective sergeant Steven Gray said: “This was a completely unprovoked assault and it is vital that we trace the person responsible.
“There were several members of the public nearby at the time waiting for buses and we would urge anyone who witnessed what happened to get in touch.
“We would also urge anyone with private CCTV or dash-cam footage to check in case they have captured anything which could be of significance to our enquiries.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3199 of Sunday, 2 June, 2024. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
