A blind and disabled man has been assaulted and robbed in his own home.
The victim, who uses crutches and a wheelchair, suffered a cut to his face and was knocked to the ground during the "despicable and opportunistic" theft.
The 39-year-old was in his Edinburgh home shortly before 1pm yesterday when there was a knock on his door.
