Assault on Sunday night - corner of Albert St and Leith Walk

[Juice-Terry]

A friend of mine (dressed in full Hibs regalia) was badly beaten on the corner of Albert St and Leith Walk (by the bus stop) on Sunday night around 10pm (cup final night). He was by himself eating a pakora and waiting for the bus when six (or thereabout) boys attacked him without any sort of provocation. He was beaten unconscious, had his nose broken, and lost four teeth. If anyone knows anything please let me know - or even better, contact the police. Cheers.

That's horrendous. I absolutely detest folk that do that kind of thing. Absolute cowards that have no idea of the severity of their actions.

Hope you get enough info to get them.

[joe breezy]

i hope someone gets caught for this - shocking - hate hearing of this kind of thing - too many people in the world lacking in morals

[Hibs7]

Cowards of the lowest order .... Hope they get payback x 10, the bar stewards

[Hibercelona]

Cowards who would never be caught outside on their own, that's all they are.

Wish your mate a speedy recovery.

I think I seen him after the attack. Wearing hibs top and kilt, face covered in blood. The police were with him at the time. Completely out of order

[lord bunberry]

Just complete and utter vermin who were probably walking around after thinking they are hard men

Hope your mate is OK bud.

Hope these twats are caught and get their comeuppance. I didn't see anything but a group of us were started on twice on our walk into town from easter road around midnight. Glad I wasn't alone or things could have turned nasty. Some people need put down!

Absolute disgrace, he looked in a bad way and no need for it at all from what you say. Hope he recovers soon and they catch the ********s who done it

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Not that it makes much difference, but, was it Yams, Bams or Yam Bams? They must've given him some indication re the cause of their twat-like actions.

From what I understand they simply blindsided him for no reason (other than him wearing his Hibs kilt and top?). He's back from the hospital and in fairly good spirits. He is off on his honeymoon on Sunday(!!!???). Not exactly the ideal lead up to such an occasion.

[ColintonHibs]

Hate these people. Go around in groups thinking theyre solid. Need to get a grip i bet none of them wouldve done that on their own. Trying to show off to their stupid friends.

Not so good, I wandered up to T4IH from Tamsons at much the same time, could just as easily have been me. I wasnae munching a pakora though, so, perhaps it was racially motivated! ;-)
I'll get my coat.

I was in Tamsons when that happened, they were like the SAS, by the time i'd turned round they were in done the deed and out the door.

I doubt this is the same folk, they clearly new who they wanted.

[cam75]

My mate got broken nose and 2 black eyes just next to robbies on Sunday night trying to stop a fight!

[Beefster]

Warriors - if you need more than yourself to batter someone, you're not that hard. Bawbags.

[Willis1875]

Good point Blackpool it did look like they had a specific person in mind.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

FFS! What a radge end to the days proceedings!

To be honest, i cant remember if it was before you came in or after you left?

[Oscar T Grouch]

I think, and please correct me if I am wrong, but the whole of Leith walk is covered by CCTV cameras is it no? Hopefully the polis can get an idea of who done this from that. Deplore violence, but a group attacking one guy, thats just wrong.

Kicked off big style in the Tor on Sunday night, bar got closed early, proper wild west pagger going down, chairs and glasses flyiing everywhere, everyone just punching everyone else, pure chaos, and they were meant to have a late close that night too.

I'm still trying to remember when my old man left, if indeed we were still in Tamsons when he went home!

[JimBHibees]

Cant stand this sort of thing, completely horrible and cowardly.

[Fife-Hibee]

**** bags !!

I was in there at the time too. It just seemed to happen out of nothing. Never did get the pint I was queuing for

[kdhibees1]

Absolutely shocking!! Always makes me sick to the stomach when I hear about innocent folk getting a do-in for nowt! Pure and utter pond life!!
