Eight police officers were injured when they came under attack from around 100 youths armed with fireworks and petrol bombs in Edinburgh on Sunday night.
Police in the Niddrie district of Scotland’s capital were forced to don riot gear when the trouble broke out around 5 p. m. on Bonfire Night, the traditional commemoration of the arrest of Guy Fawkes beneath the House of Parliament in London and the exposure of the gunpowder plot in 1605.
