'Massive gang fight' breaks out in Edinburgh park as cops swoop on scene

Cops have raced to a park in the Scottish capital after a "massive gang fight" broke out.

Residents watched on in horror in Edinburgh this evening as groups took part in the huge brawl at Sighthill Park.

Edinburgh Live say there are reports of someone being hit with a weapon.

Pictures have emerged showing police in attendance at the reported scrap in the south west of the city.

Multiple police cars and vans as well as officers on motorcycles are at the scene.

One Edinburgh local, who saw the chaos, said: "There were 10 or more police vehicles in attendance and an ambulance just left with blue lights and sirens."

This comes as another incident has been reported in the North West of the city.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers received reports of a disturbance involving a group of youths within Sighthill Park in Edinburgh around 4.30pm on Wednesday, 15 June, 2022.

“Officers attended and traced one male youth who had sustained minor injuries.

“Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and officers will continue to carry out patrols in the area.”
