Police are hunting three thugs who seriously assaulted a 29-year-old in Hamilton on Friday evening.

The victim was attacked by three men at the junction of Strathaven Road and Mill Road, sometime between 9.45pm on 10pm on Friday, January 10.

He was treated at the University Hospital Hairmyres with face, back and arm injuries.

DC Jennifer Thirtle, from Lanarkshire CID, said: “Whilst we don’t have descriptions of the suspects, we know that the area was busy with vehicles and are appealing for anyone with information or potential dashcam footage to come forward.

“We are currently making door-to-door enquiries and would also ask for members of the community who may have seen people acting suspiciously in the area before or after the incident to please contact police.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0161 of January 11. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you wish to remain anonymous.
