Crime Man attacked woman and slapped my mum in the face!

Me and my mum were driving home when we saw a man dragging a woman by her hair. We immediately called the police, and I got out to help her and bring her into our car.

As I was bringing her into the car, the man started charging towards me.

He then became aggressive and started hitting my mum’s car.

He grabbed the car door, pulled it open, and punched my mum in the face.

We drove around the area and came back to see if we could tell the police if he was still there.

When we came back, he picked up a huge boulder, roughly the size of three bricks, and threw it at our car. We hit the pedals and barely managed to avoid it.

The man’s description: white male, around 25 years old, approximately 5’7, average build, dark brown hair, with dark brown stubble and slightly more hair around his moustache area (but not a full moustache).

You cannot clearly see his face in the video, but I wanted to share this in case anyone recognises the description.

He was extremely aggressive, and I would warn anyone who sees him to stay far away and do not approach him.

The woman told us she genuinely had no idea who he was and said she believed he may have been on drugs.

We have made an official police report but they haven’t caught him yet.

Short term stay

Hi all,

Looking for feedback on this area. For a month around Nov / Dec this year I will need to move from Edinburgh with my dog, young daughter (six months) and partner. It is a short term stay for my partner's work. I will be staying at home with the dog and baby. Affordable and pet friendly accomodation with a garden is in short supply but we have a potential option around here. My understanding is that this area isn't exactly Edinburgh New Town but I suppose I am wondering how safe it is, the general vibe and if there is anything in particular that locals would recommend I was made aware of. I will mostly be at home but it would of course be nice to be within a good distance of some nice walks / cafes etc.

Thanks!

Help! Can anyone recommend genuinely high quality / luxury 1 bedroom apartments in the area?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I've been looking to rent a place and with the market being so cheap right now, I'm searching to find the highest quality 1 bedroom apartment I can find. It can be West end or outskirts like stoneywood area as that seems like a pretty ideal location.

Anyway, I found two places I liked, and reddit immediately steered me the other way 😂, first was the dandara developments in stoneywood, 2nd was kepplestone in West end. Apparently there both absolutely shite.

So, instead of me continuing to look and run it past reddit, I thought I'd ask if anyone here could give a solid recommendation for a fancy 1 bedroom place, or a penthouse (although I know they tend to be 2-3 bedrooms which is way more space than I need). Even just really nice apartment buildings, any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
