A 35-year-old man was left with serious injuries after he and his pal were attacked by a group of men in East Kilbride.
The two victims, aged 35 and 44, were assaulted in the Lanarkshire town's High Common Road at around 10.35pm on Saturday night.
Police described the incident as an “unprovoked attack” and are now appealing to the public for information.
The 35-year-old victim was taken to Wishaw General Hospital where he was treated for serious, non-life threatening injuries.
One of the suspects is described as between 30 and 40 years old, 6ft 2ins tall and bald.
Detective Constable Ashley Hind, of Lanarkshire CID, said: “This was a serious assault and we are keen to trace those responsible as soon as possible.
“I would urge anyone who may have been in the area at the time and saw the incident to contact police as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting incident 4024 of 9 October, or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
The attack happened just two days after a 35-year-old dog walker was seriously injured after being attacked in the town’s Barrie Road, at around 10.55pm on Thursday.
The victim in this case suffered serious facial injuries and police said the suspect was “possibly” armed with a weapon.
