Man left with facial injuries after attack
A MAN suffered a fractured cheekbone and chipped eye socket after being seriously assaulted by three thugs in the city centre.
The 46-year-old victim was walking along Queen Street towards Queen Street Gardens East when he encountered the trio of men, who are all described as being white and in their late 20s.
The victim was then punched in the face without warning, and knocked unconscious.
He came round shortly afterwards, and was helped by a man and a woman who accompanied him to his home.
The incident happened at around 3am on Sunday.
A police spokesman said: "This was a particularly nasty and unprovoked assault, and we urgently need to trace the three people who helped the victim after he was attacked, as it is possible they have information that can assist our inquiries."
Anyone with any information should contact 0131-311 3131 or 0800 555 111.
