TWO Polish men were attacked while walking home from a night out in Jedburgh during the early hours of Sunday.
Police said the pair – aged 41 and 35 – were subjected to racial remarks before being “violently assaulted”.
A 21-year-old man has made a private court appearance in connection with the incident. Graham Slorance, from Jedburgh, is charged with assault to severe injury. He made no plea or declaration at Selkirk Sheriff Court and the case was continued for further examination. He was released on conditional bail.
One man sustained a serious face wound while the other had minor injuries, say police.
