Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses following a report of concerning behaviour in the west of the city.

At around 12.10pm on Wednesday 21st November, within Russell Road, a male motorist saw a woman, whom he believed was acting aggressively towards a child within the pram she was pushing.

The driver challenged the woman on her behaviour and she walked off, pushing the pram towards Roseburn.

Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this incident and anyone with information is asked to come forward.

The woman is described as being white, in her fifties, around 5ft 5ins tall with a larger build, blonde hair and wearing a black and white coat.

The child is described only as being a toddler and wearing a dark jacket.

Constable Alexander Marshall from Wester Hailes Police Station said: “At this time we do not know what the nature of the interaction between the woman and the child in her care was and we are keen to trace them both as soon as possible.

“Anyone who recognises their description and can help identify them, or who has information relevant to this investigation, should contact police immediately.

“We’d also ask the woman concerned to get in touch to assist with this inquiry.”
