A police investigation is underway after a gang attacked a man in a Easter Road, Broxburn around 3pm on Sunday.
The 29-year-old victim sustained several “painful” injuries in the serious assault in Broxburn, police said.
Officers said three men got out of a 4 x 4 vehicle and attacked the 29-year-old man who sustained several painful injuries.
Detective Inspector Steven Bertram said: “The victim suffered a number of painful injuries, but declined medical attention and we are now conducting various lines of inquiry to trace those responsible.
“Anyone who witnessed this attack, or who has information that can assist with our investigation is asked to come forward.
“We believe the vehicle the suspects used may have sustained damage to its windscreen and wing mirror during the disturbance and so anyone who spots this car is also urged to contact police immediately.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
