On Friday, 19 June, 2026, police received multiple calls from members of the public about violent attacks including, threats, robbery and vandalism across Edinburgh, with five people injured.

Five men, two aged 22, and others aged 24, 27, and 39, sustained a range of injuries and three required hospital treatment, however none of the injuries are life threatening.

A 36-year-old white Scottish man was arrested and there is no further threat to the public.

Counter Terrorism Policing Scotland is investigating, supported by other specialist colleagues and local policing officers.

The first report originated from around 8.50pm in the Sighthill area, where two men were injured. They were taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by ambulance.

Over the following period, reports were received about incidents around retailers across the West and North of the city.

During this period, three other men were attacked in the Telford Road and Leith Walk area, suffering differing injuries.

Around 9.30pm, local police officers equipped with Taser confronted a suspect and, although Taser was not discharged, the man was detained.

The individual remains in custody and enquiries continue. Local policing patrols will continue across the area and our communities will see a visible policing presence over coming days.

Assistant Chief Constable Catriona Paton said: “This was a shocking attack and my first thoughts are with those who were injured and most directly affected.

“I want to send a clear message of support to all our communities that there is no place for racism or faith-based hate in a Scotland which is at its best when we stand together.

“Officers responded to multiple reports of a fast-moving sequence of events across Edinburgh before arresting a man and public safety was our priority.

“Extensive work is ongoing to establish all the circumstances. We are being supported by Counter Terrorism Policing and working under the direction of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.

“I want to thank our officers who responded with bravery and professionalism, and with a focus on protecting the public.

“I’m hugely grateful for the support and assistance of our communities and would appeal for anyone with any information to share it with police. We have established a major incident police portal.”

The Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) has been set up to encourage members of the public to submit information directly to officers. We would appeal to anyone with information that could assist with enquiries to upload it using the online form here: https://orlo.uk/dDmyV

Our Chief Executive, Sabir Zazai, has issued a statement in response to violent and intimidating anti-migrant protests which have taken place across Scotland:

"We stand in solidarity with everyone who has been affected by the deeply disturbing events across central Scotland last night.

Words have consequences. We are seeing in real time the human cost of irresponsible language being deliberately used by some politicians, in our headlines and on social media to whip up fear and hatred.

Harmful narratives are being peddled as facts. This is resulting in violence on our streets and people being targeted because of the colour of their skin.

Our thoughts are with everyone who has been made to feel unsafe or unwelcome. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. We need to see real and sustained leadership from our political leaders which is more than just warm words.

We need an active commitment to bring communities together and call out racism and misinformation when it is seen and heard.

The toxic rhetoric and use of falsehoods to scapegoat people seeking safety needs to stop. People seeking protection are not a problem needing to be solved – it is the systemic failures in housing, cost of living and the immigration system that need to be fixed."
