A police investigation is underway after a man was knocked down by a car on Glebe Road, Whitburn, West Lothian, at 7pm last night.
A group of men had an altercation before a black Fiat Punto was driven at a 30-year-old man who was subsequently taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with a number of serious injuries.
The Fiat made off from towards Armadale whilst a black Audi A5, which had been travelling in convoy, headed towards Fauldhouse.
Sergeant Andrew McGhee said: “We are treating this incident extremely seriously and are keen to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in the area on Saturday night.
“As part of this investigation we want to trace the driver and any passengers from within the Punto and Audi and if you can help us identify any of these individuals then please contact police immediately.
“In addition anyone with any further information relating to this inquiry should also get in touch.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact 101.
