A man has been arrested in connection with an alleged assault in Inverness on the son of a candidate standing at the General Election.
A 25-year-old son of Tory candidate Edward Mountain was allegedly attacked in the city centre at lunchtime on Saturday and suffered minor injuries.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said the incident happened on the High Street at about 12.14pm.
A 50-year-old man was arrested and has been reported in connection with the incident.
He is expected to appear at Inverness Sheriff Court on May 14.
The area was packed at the time with shoppers and SNP supporters greeting First Minister Nicola Sturgeon during her whistle-stop tour of the Highlands.
Several other candidates vying for the Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey seat had also been campaigning in the High Street at the time.
