A 36-year-old man has been charged following suspected anti-Muslim attacks in Edinburgh that left five men injured.

Axar.az reports, citing BBC, Police Scotland said the man was charged “in connection with a number of incidents” on Friday, and a report has been submitted to Scotland’s public prosecutor.

The incidents began near a mosque in west Edinburgh, before further attacks were reported at locations including Telford Road and Leith Walk. Police said the injuries were not life-threatening.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the attacks, saying the suspect appeared to be motivated by “anti-Muslim hatred.”

"My thoughts are with those who are injured, and I thank the police and the emergency services for their response."
