A horrified mum has told how her 15-year-old girl was left with a gashed head after being attacked by a group of youths in Edinburgh city centre. She said the teenager and her 14-year-old sister were targeted by an unknown group of youths.
Her two daughters were walking through a busy Princes Street Gardens when she said the mob approached them and took one of the older girl's portable speakers from her and chucked it in a bush. When the girl went to retrieve it, the group supposedly circled around them both.
The mum said they told her younger daughter she would "die" if she tried to intervene, and so the terrified 14-year-old ran to get help as her older sister was punched, kicked and "stabbed' in the head with a shard of glass from a smashed bottle. Both daughters fled to the McDonald's branch on Princes Street for safety where the chasing gang continued to wreak havoc, reportedly scrapping with security on the door and also random passers-by.
