Edinburgh's Street Assist had a busy weekend, including coming to the aid of a woman with glass stuck in her eye and helping a man with a head injury.
The city's street group were out on the cobbles and pavements as ever and helped a range of people over the weekend.
They reported receiving 16 calls on Saturday night, and five of them were taken to hospital for treatment.

The charity say the women with glass in her eye and the head injury were most concerning, but also reported encountering a number of people who were intoxicated.
They say they worked with Police Scotland and Edinburgh Council's CCTV to identify people in need.
On Friday the group attended 20 calls, and helped another woman with glass in her foot and assisted to three more head injuries, and a man suffering a suspected seizure.
Edinburgh Live recently went out on a street patrol and witnessed first hand the gallant effort the band of volunteers put in every weekend.
Our own Jacob Farr described how crucial the service is to the city, and watched as they helped a young woman who believed she had been spiked.
Edinburgh Live is currently supporting Street Assist to try to help the charity raise enough funds to buy a new vehicle that will allow them to transport people that have injured themselves on nights out in Edinburgh to places where they can receive care.
Street Assist provides welfare and first aid to those who become vulnerable during the busy night time economy hours.
They deliver a service every Friday and Saturday from 10pm to 4am and support emergency services and the NHS to help reduce unnecessary visits to the Emergency Department.
