A man has been hospitalised with a facial injury following an early hours ‘altercation’ outside an iconic Edinburgh hotel.
The 39-year-old was reportedly walking past the striking Balmoral on Princes Street on Sunday morning when he was involved in an incident with another man waiting in the queue for the taxi rank.
The victim was struck in the face, causing him to be rushed to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment after the suspect fled the scene.
