LONDON: Police in Scotland said on Saturday that counter-terrorism officers were investigating a number of “violent attacks” the previous evening in Edinburgh that injured five men in suspected anti-Muslim incidents.
Police Scotland said a 36-year-old white Scottish man had been arrested and that there was no further threat to the public.
Footage posted online showed a bare-chested man — purportedly the suspect — roaming streets of the Scottish capital with a large weapon.
“Counter Terrorism Policing Scotland is investigating, supported by other specialist colleagues and local policing officers,” police said in a statement.
