Police are appealing for witnesses following a serious assault and collision involving a coach at South Gyle Access, Edinburgh.

The incident took place around 2.50pm on Tuesday, 21 October, 2025.

Enquiries have established that a 17-year-old male was approached by two males who had exited the No.22 bus. One of the males chased the victim into the road, where he was hit by a coach travelling in the opposite direction. The victim was then attacked whilst on the ground.

The victim was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with serious injuries.

The suspect is described as a white male, aged approximately 17, around 5ft 11 and slim build. He was wearing dark clothing and a dark beanie hat.

Detective Sergeant John Dunn said:

This was a violent, unprovoked attack and we are carrying out extensive enquiries to track down the male responsible.

We believe there were members of the public who will have witnessed the incident and are yet to speak to police, so would encourage anyone with information to please come forward.

Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident 1855 of 21 October. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.
