The British Transport Police (BTP) has discontinued its investigation into the alleged attack on 78-year-old poppy seller and army veteran Jim Henderson during a pro-Palestinian rally at Waverley Station in Edinburgh. The decision was based on what authorities deemed “insufficient evidence” after a thorough review of CCTV footage and discussions with key witnesses.
Assistant Chief Constable Sean O’Callaghan emphasised that the extensive review found no reason to believe that poppy sellers are at risk or intentionally targeted. The incident occurred amidst a larger protest against the Israel-Gaza war, where hundreds occupied the Waverley Station concourse.
