A teenager needed hospital treatment after being attacked by a gang of five men at the weekend.

Police in West Lothian are appealing for information following a serious assault in Livingston.

The incident happened around 11.30pm on Friday within ASDA supermarket car park on Almondvale Boulevard where a 19-year-old man was assaulted by five men.

Emergency services attended and the man was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment of serious but not life threatening injuries.

Detective Constable Rachel Royan of Livingston CID, said: “A man has sustained serious injuries as a result of this incident and we are appealing for the public’s help to trace those responsible.

“Although this happened late at night, I would ask if you were in the area at the time and witnessed the incident to get in contact with police.
