Police are hunting three masked men who took off in a red saloon car after an attack involving a machete in Edinburgh in the early hours of Friday morning.
Officers raced to Main Street in the Davidson Mains area of the capital at 12.05am after receiving reports of a violent attack. The victim, a 20-year-old man, had just left a pub, believed to have been Ye Old Inn, on the busy road at around midnight when he was jumped by three men armed with a machete.
The victim sustained serious injuries and was blue-lighted to Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment. The suspects, who were wearing balaclavas and dress in dark clothing, are believed to have fled the scene in a red saloon-type vehicle.
