Police investigating an assault on a woman in a city nightclub have released CCTV images of two men they want to question.

A 25-year-old woman was attacked in a "distressing" incident in Shanghai on George Street in Edinburgh in the early hours of June 26 last year.

Detectives say the man pictured in the CCTV images is of interest to their ongoing investigation.

The man is described as white, 25 to 28, about 6ft tall with a medium build, short dark hair and a short, groomed dark beard.

He was wearing a light blue shirt, dark jeans and black trainers with a white sole at the time of the assault and he spoke with a strong Edinburgh accent.

Detective constable Aisling Corduff, of Edinburgh's public protection unit, said: "This has understandably been a very distressing incident for the young woman involved and we've been conducting a number of enquiries since then.

"The man pictured is believed to be of significance to our investigation, and we would urge anyone who recognises him to come forward as soon as possible.

"Anyone with information can call Police Scotland on 101 or contact Crimestoppers in complete anonymity on 0800 555 111."
