Officers injured during disorder at football match in Edinburgh
Police Scotland is appealing for information after four officers were injured during disorder after the football match between Hibernian and Motherwell at the weekend.
The force said incidents of violence and disorder were directed towards officers in the St Andrew Square area of Edinburgh after the conclusion of the Scottish Premiership game on Saturday (October 5).
Four officers suffered minor injuries as a result and four men aged 16, 17, 18 and 22 were charged in connection with incidents of violence and disorder.
They were released on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date.
Two other people were also arrested and later released without charge.
Chief Inspector Craig Rogerson said: “We have a zero-tolerance approach to violence of any kind and are working to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.
“A proportionate policing plan was in place and officers being targeted with violence while carrying out their duties is wholly unacceptable.
“Officers acted swiftly in challenging circumstances to deal with what amounted to totally unacceptable behaviour.
“A dedicated team of officers are carrying out enquiries to identify those involved and appropriate action will be taken.”
