A MAN was taken to hospital after being assaulted at an Edinburgh music venue in the early hours of this morning.

The 47-year-old was attacked in the Jam House on Queen Street at around 1.30am, according to police.

He suffered injuries to his face in the serious assault and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Detective Constable Jim Philp said: “This man appears to have been the victim of an unprovoked assault, and has been left requiring hospital treatment as a result of his injuries.
