No details have been released on the condition of the four people injured. Police said they had made an arrest and there was no further risk to the public. Inquiries are ongoing.

A man was captured on CCTV in a petrol station standing beside a black vehicle with its windscreen smashed. He then enters the petrol station kiosk and wanders around several times before pushing multiple shelves over and scattering items on the floor. Members of the public can be seen running away from a man as he approaches the Origano pizzeria on Leith Walk. A topless man with a weapon also approaches a car which had stopped at a junction nearby.

In another video, an officer can be seen holding a topless man on the ground, who then swears and shouts that he is "protecting the country". Edinburgh
