Counter-terrorism officers are investigating a series of violent incidents in Edinburgh after five people were injured, police said. Multiple outlets report that the attacks take place over Friday night and prompted members of the public to report “violent attacks,” leading police to involve specialist counter-terrorism resources. Police say investigations are continuing. One man has been arrested, described by Police Scotland as a 36-year-old white Scottish man. Separate reporting says some of the injured are Muslim, with Muslim Engagement and Development stating that several of those hurt were Muslim. Other outlets describe the incidents as appearing to target Muslims, while the police statements referenced across the reports focus on the investigation rather than confirmed motives. Daily Express adds that Counter Terrorism Policing Scotland is leading the investigation with support from specialist officers and local policing teams. Authorities have not publicly concluded the cause or motivation of the violence in the accounts provided.
