A 76-year-old man has been charged after a four-year-old boy was hit by a taxi in Edinburgh last week.

The child was taken to Royal Hospital for Children with minor injuries after the incident on South Gyle Broadway, near to Burne Cruick, around 15:15 on 15 April.

Officers previously said the driver of the taxi had stopped after the incident, but then left the scene without giving their details.

Police Scotland said a report would be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
