‘The whole time the police were there, though, the crowd just lingered off the side of the green – and they were yelling and taunting and jeering the police.’Several youngsters weer seen running from the police van An eyewitness claimed police had made the arrest after an attempted murder on Gilmerton Road the previous evening.
But police said no link had been established between it and the attempted murder of a 16-year-old on Sunday, but both enquiries are ongoing and any links will be looked into.The Police Scotland Professional Standards Unit had been informed about the collision.
