Youths hunted for canal cyclists push

Police are hunting a group of youths who pushed three cyclists into a canal in Edinburgh.

The men were targeted in separate incidents as they cycled along the Union Canal between 5pm and 9:15pm on Wednesday.

They were confronted by a group of youths on the path near Murrayburn and Wester Hailes and were pushed into the water.

The three cyclists all managed to get out of the canal themselves, but suffered minor injuries.
