Elsewhere, in an unrelated incident in Edinburgh, a shopkeeper was allegedly attacked by a female youth at Waverley station.

A video clip, filmed by a passerby, appeared to show a female youth in an alleged altercation with a worker at a tourist and merchandise shop on the steps leading to the station at around 6pm on Friday.

Some of the postcards and stock can be seen on the floor as people try and intervene to bring an end to the alleged incident. However, the girl appears to continue to approach the man several times before seemingly kicking out and striking him with her hand as multiple people call the police for help.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland confirmed they received a report of theft and an assault at a premises within Waverley Mall and a 12-year-old girl was charged in connection.

They added: “At 6pm on Friday, April 4, 2025 we received a report of theft and assault at a premises in Waverley Mall, Edinburgh. A 12-year-old female youth was charged in connection and will be reported to the relevant authorities”

In other news, a Scottish tourist has been arrested for allegedly attacking a teenage boy in front of his mum and a shopkeeper on the Thai island of Phuket.

George Paterson from Glasgow, allegedly rampaged past nearby homes before vandalising a motorcycle outside the store. CCTV shows the angry owner, Warin Dokbua, 51, shouting at George to leave after he attempted to tear the seat from the vehicle.

However, the 40-year-old retaliated and began throwing punches at the smaller local man. Shockingly, he then picked up two glass bottles and hurled them at the terrified father-of-three on Friday morning.

Warin called the police before George was caught in a nearby street. He was arrested and taken into custody, but officers said he was too agitated to be questioned.
