Summary
Police Scotland said local policing patrols will maintain a visible presence within the communities across the coming days. The Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) has been set up for witnesses to provide information. Assistant Chief Constable Catriona Paton said: “This was a shocking attack and my first thoughts are with those who were injured and most directly affected. “I want to send a clear message of support to all our communities that there is no place for racism or faith-based hate in a Scotland which is at its best when we stand together. “Officers responded to multiple reports of a fast-moving sequence of events across Edinburgh before arresting a man and public safety was our priority. “Extensive work is ongoing to establish all the circumstances. 'We are being supported by Counter Terrorism Policing and working under the direction of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. Two of those injured are 22, while the others are aged, 24, 27 and 39.
Furthermore, The organisation Muslim Engagement and Development said several of those injured were Muslim. A spokesperson said: 'This incident comes not long after racist pogroms on the streets of Belfast that targeted minority families, and is a direct consequence of political rhetoric that demonises entire communities. Three required hospital treatment, with police confirming that none of the injuries are life threatening.
In addition, Counter Terrorism Policing Scotland say they are investigating the incidents. Several of the victims are from the Muslim community, according to Muslim engagement group MED Scotland.
