THREE people have been arrested and a fourth hospitalised after an alleged “crossbow attack” in Edinburgh.
Police shut down Ardshiel Avenue in the west of the Scottish capital after reports of a “serious assault” on Thursday morning.
One local resident told The Daily Record that there had been “blood all over the street”.
Images showed an arrow and a crowbar on the street, alongside police tags.

"Emergency services attended and a 42-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment.
