A Edinburgh man was left covered in blood after he was attacked walking home from the pub - and the incident has left his wife too frightened to leave the house.
Quintin Rosettenstein, 48, was walking home just after midnight on Friday when he was struck in the head from behind and then battered in a dark unlit lane just moments from his house. Edinburgh Live reports that the local school care taker, originally from South Africa, has lived in the Clermiston area of the capital for six years with his wife Janine.
The couple have never had any trouble before but fears the area has taken a turn for the worse after several violent incidents took place near their home. The thug hit the 48-year-old from behind and pushed him towards a narrow unlit alleyway before striking him several more times and booting him in the chest, leaving Quentin covered with blood and disorientated while screaming out for help.
