This footage was filmed and produced 6 November 2023.

Assistant Chief Constable Tim Mairs said the Bonfire Night disorder in Niddrie was "the most extreme violence seen" since Operation Moonbeam was set up in 2018 to tackle the issue.

Fire crews were attacked and eight police officers injured in Bonfire Night disorder which saw petrol bombs and fireworks thrown at riot police in Edinburgh.

Around 100 youths gathered on Hay Avenue in Niddrie, Edinburgh, just before 5pm on Sunday in a repeat of disorder seen last year in the neighbourhood.

Police say around 50 people were responsible for directing fireworks, petrol bombs and other projectiles at buildings, vehicles and police.
