Counterterrorism police have taken over an investigation into suspected anti-Muslim violence in Edinburgh, Scotland, that left five men injured, authorities said Saturday.
The unrest comes as the United Kingdom is seeing a wave of anti-migrant and anti-Muslim sentiment, including recent riots in Northern Ireland and England.
What do we know about the attacks?
Emergency services responded late Friday to reports of "violent attacks including threats, robbery and vandalism" across the city, according to a police statement.
Local media reported the attacks began near a mosque before spreading to other areas of the city.
