CCTV images of two men have been released by police following a serious assault outside a Brazilian bar in Edinburgh.

A 25-year-old man suffered a broken jaw in the attack, which happened around 2.30am on Saturday May 21 outside Boteco Do Brasil on Lothian Street.

Police believe the men pictured on CCTV images are connected with the attack and are asking anyone who recognises them to come forward.

Detective constable John Dunn said: "The victim was on a night out with friends when he was attacked by two men in a vicious and sustained assault.

"He suffered a painful facial injury as a result of this incident and police have been conducting enquiries, including viewing CCTV footage from in and around the Lothian Street area.

"The two men in the images are believed to be of significance to our investigation and anyone who can assist in tracing them is asked to come forward.

"Similarly, we would ask both people depicted to get in touch with police themselves to help with the investigation."
