Detective Sergeant Lyndsey Beck, from Livingston CID, said: “We are working to establish the full circumstances of this attack, which has resulted in the victim sustaining a number of facial injuries that are likely to leave permanent scarring.
“At this time we only have limited information about the suspects and so we’d ask that members of the public who witnessed what happened and can help us identify those responsible contact police immediately.
“A number of females came to the aid of the victim immediately after the assault, and I would appeal for them to get in touch.”
