A 19-year-old woman suffered a "terrifying" indecent assault as she got off a bus in Edinburgh in the early hours.

The woman was walking home on Minto Street in Newingto after getting off the bus at around 3am on Sunday when a man in a kilt grabbed her and dragged her into a garden.

He attacked her but she managed to fight him off and ran home to contact police.

The suspect is a white man in his early 30s, 6ft tall with a large build and dark hair.

He was wearing a red kilt, calf-high boots and a dark hooded top with numbers on the front.

Detective inspector Donnie MacLeod said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the young woman and thankfully she was able to fight her attacker off before running away from the locus.

"We have already spoken to a number of witnesses but I would urge any other members of the public who remember seeing any suspicious activity within the Salisbury Place area during the early hours of Sunday morning, is asked to contact police immediately.

"I would also ask anyone who recognises the description of the suspect to also get in touch."
