A man arrested after a Scottish Lib Dem councillor reported being assaulted while out leafleting has been released without charge.
Councillor Kevin Lang said he was “very shaken up” after being confronted by a man “hurling verbal abuse” at him as he was delivering leaflets in South Queensferry at about 11.10am on Sunday.
Lang, who leads the Lib Dem group on Edinburgh city council, alleged the man “put his hand up to my throat and he then pushed the leaflet down the top of my shirt”.
