Man charged with attempted murder after alleged stabbing in Edinburgh street
A man has been charged with attempted murder after a ‘stabbing’ on an Edinburgh street.
The 39-year-old man was arrested at the scene of the alleged stabbing at a property in Wardlaw Street at around 2.40pm on Tuesday, March 24.
A 50-year-old man suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment. His condition has been described as serious but stable.
It is understood the 39-year-old man is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
Wardlaw Street was taped off at both ends on Tuesday, and two sections of pavement on Gorgie Road, between Wheatfield Street and Gorgie Church, and Wardlaw Street and White Park, were also cordoned off.
Images taken at the scene showed police tape blocking the road, with officers guiding traffic in the area.
A witness said there were around five police cars in attendance.
Detective Inspector Alan Sharp said: "Our enquiries remain ongoing and we would urge any witnesses or anyone with information that may assist our investigation to come forward."
Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting incident number 1900 of March 24.
