Edinburgh Tourist Attacked in Princes Street | Edinburgh News
Description
A tourist in Edinburgh is punched in the face by a group of teenagers after telling them not to touch her sister — an attack that unfolded in a busy tourist spot and left her fearing for her safety. Witnesses helped translate as she struggled to communicate with emergency services, and social media soon revealed others had been targeted by what appears to be the same group, often specifically targeting Asian individuals. Videos showed the teens shoplifting, vandalizing, and abusing people — including one instance where an Asian woman was egged. The victim now believes the assault may have been racially motivated and says she won’t return to Edinburgh, citing the growing sense of danger in a place once seen as welcoming.
