Police have released an image of a man they want to speak with after a “public indecency” offence in a busy coffee shop which took place around 11.30am on Saturday, January 26 at a café in George Street.

Officers believe the man pictured may be able to help with their investigation into the incident.

Detective Constable Daniel Brunton said: “This was a very distressing incident for the victim, who witnessed this offence, which was committed in the middle of a busy coffee shop in the city centre of Edinburgh.

“As part of this inquiry we are keen to identify the male in the image and he, or anyone who recognises him, is asked to contact police immediately.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
