Police are looking for a cyclist who was seen kicking a 19-month-old girl on Saturday afternoon. The incident happened on the cycle path near Leith Links at around 4.30pm.
The toddler was walking with her father and both had moved out of the way to give the bicycle room when the little girl was deliberately kicked by the cyclist.
The cyclist – who was riding a silver mountain bike – is white, in his mid 20s and of medium build. He was clean-shaven and had dark scruffy hair. He also had dark circles under his eyes. The man was wearing dark jeans with a black hooded jacket.
Officers are now urging witnesses to come forward.
Sgt Mark Wilson, of Police Scotland, said: “Thankfully the child was not seriously injured but this was still a distressing and inexplicable incident. We are keen to speak to anyone with information that can help us with our inquiries and assist us to trace this suspect.”
“Anyone with information can contact us on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
