A police foot chase resulted in the arrest of a teenager in connection with a reported knife-point robbery in the city centre.
The victim, a 18-year-old man, was walking along Glasshouse Street when he was stopped by a group of males.
One suspect reportedly pulled out a knife and threatened him, demanding his bag, phone and coat.
The offender took the items and the suspects then ran off towards the Victoria Centre.
No-one was injured during the incident which happened at around 9.30pm yesterday (Friday 2 October 2020).
Officers quickly responded to the report and a short time later spotted one of the suspects in Upper Parliament Street who matched descriptions given.
He ran off but was pursued by officers who managed to catch up with him and arrest him.
A 15-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of robbery remains in police custody.
