An investigation is ongoing after a 32-year-old man was left with a serious facial injury following an attack by a gang of five men on Fauldhouse Main Street around 10pm on Saturday.
The victim had just left a Scotmid store and was walking past the Golden Fry Chip Shop when the gang jumped out a dark-coloured Transit van and began attacking him.
He sustained serious facial injuries and was taken to Wishaw General Hospital where he continues to be treated.
Inquiries are ongoing and anyone with information has been asked to come forward. Detective Constable Grant Ross said: “We are still working to establish the circumstances surrounding this attack and would ask anyone who was in or around the area at the time, and who witnessed anything suspicious, to contact police immediately. “Similarly, if you have information that can help us identify the suspects, or that may be of use to this investigation, please also get in touch.”
