Edinburgh Fringe performer claims youths branded him a 'lady boy' during attack
Eddie Jen claims the male youths "beat him on the head", ripped off his bow and poured their drinks on him. An Edinburgh Fringe performer has claimed he was called a 'lady boy' by youths who allegedly attacked him on the Royal Mile. Eddie Jen, who uses he/she pronouns, is performing his show 'Seeking a PenPal For the End of the World' to the festival this year. Before it starts he was out handing out flyers but says he was accosted by a gang of thugs on Tuesday, July 29, reports Edinburgh Live. Eddie claims the male youths "beat him on the head", ripped off his bow and poured their drinks on him. Speaking out since the incident, Eddie said "it all happened so quickly". He added: "I was just so excited and happy to be in Edinburgh and to start with, I got great reactions. The youngsters aren't even a minority and they aren't speaking for everyone. "It all happened so quickly, they just came up to me and started saying 'are you a lady boy?' and 'are you a boy or a girl?' "I remained polite but as I went back to my corner to continue flyering, they hit my head, ripped off my bow and poured their drinks over me. It all happened within two minutes. "I was honestly in shock but I am so glad I was able to film it all and get people talking about this." The performer from San Francisco said she isn't letting the incident dampen her time in Edinburgh. Eddie has met a lot of kind people in the capital - including one man who assisted after the incident. She added: "There was one kind Scottish gentleman who came up to me to see if I was okay. "I really am an optimist and I am able to get the full Fringe experience right now. I mean so far, I have been harassed and done shows with no attendance so it seems I am getting everything bad out the way in the first week. "Last year I came to the Fringe to see if I was up to par and I absolutely loved it - the city is magical, there really is something about it. "I went out flyering again yesterday, I put on the same outfit and I kept going. I am just so excited to be here." Getting over 200,000 views, the clip has since gone viral and many people have offered their support to the performer. The video was captioned: "I was attacked in drag at Edinburgh Fringe 2025. It's my first solo show. "I was so excited to flyer and find an audience and then a group of young men began harassing me. They beat me on the head, ripped off my bow and poured their drinks on me." Almost 1000 comments have come in after the short clip was posted online. One person said: "Why is it always teenagers? Where are their parents? "I'm terrified of teenage boys in Edinburgh, they're just looking for trouble." A second said: "That's so bad a member of the public has to explain this is not how Scotland is and excusing their bad behaviour." "I'm so sorry this happened to you. I live in Edinburgh and unfortunately this type of stuff happens a lot. It's horrible but not all teenagers are like that", a third commented. Eddie's show started yesterday and will run at Just The Tonic at the Caves at 1.05pm until August 24. A description of the show reads: "After Trump 1.0's mob breached the US capitol to destroy democracy on January 6th, 2021, an immigrant drag queen attorney from San Francisco began writing to a retired, White, Republican woman in Bountiful, Utah – his high school English teacher from thirty years ago. "What happens when the political discussions stop and the personal begins? Can you really be friends with your former teacher? An interactive performance, with reading and writing prompts. We tell the story of our lives. For everyone who remembers their English teachers most fondly. You can find out more about Eddie's show here.

Terrifying moment Tube passenger KICKS window out so he can get off the train
An enraged Tube passenger kicked the window out of a train in central London after a station worker refused to let him out. Footage shows the shirtless man cause three large thuds to ring out at Euston before the pane of glass finally gives way. Effortlessly, the out-of-control commuter then climbs out of the carriage before swearing at staff and strolling away. The video has elicited a number of comments on social media, with many condemning the incident, saying 'this is not good'. One person said: 'Now you've taken a train out of service for that.' Another added: 'Why'd he have to do that, come on.' But others joked that they understood why the passenger had taken the drastic action as 'panic sets in: heat and enclosed spaces can send you nuts'. Someone said: 'UK are so behind, when it comes to TfL. No adequate ventilation or nothing but billions on war?? Make it make sense!' London tube — London & UK Street News (@CrimeLdn) August 1, 2025 One social media user observed: 'London is so weird. This guy literally kicked the door window down and people really juss (sic) standing there instead of walking/running away.' British Transport Police have they are aware of the video and are investigating. A spokesman added: 'We request anyone with information to contact us by texting 61016 and referencing 805-310-725.' The shocking incident is just one of many to have taken place on London's transport network in recent months. A couple of weeks ago a brawl broke out on the steps of Highbury and Islington Station at rush hour. Screaming members of the public attempted to intervene as a group appeared to hurl a man down the stairs and threw punches and kicks at him. Footage captured the chaos as a smartly-dressed individual kicked the head of another in a grey tracksuit - and someone else threw a rucksack into the packed crowd. Commuters attempted to break up the fight and help a mother and her baby in a pushchair get out of the way. Striking footage in a separate event showed a London Underground operative hard at work on a lion-themed garment as he pulled slowly out of Hendon Central Station Horrified bystanders then rushed to pick up a toddler left crying on the floor as the chaos unfolded. Another video of a different nature was circulated earlier this year - as it showed an easy-going tube driver knitting and watching videos on his phone at Hendon Central Station. A witness who filmed the spectacle - which took place on the Northern Line train - commented disapprovingly, 'look at him... watching TV, pressing a couple of buttons'. He went on to reference the money the driver earns each year and claimed he can go on strike 'whenever he wants'.
