A driver has been rushed to hospital with a serious facial injury after a physical altercation on a Scots roadside.
Drivers of two cars - a silver Volkswagen hatchback, either a Polo or a Golf, and a white or cream coloured Mini - were involved in the incident at around 4pm on Thursday September 1.
Emergency services raced to the scene on the northbound ramp of the A899 at the Houston Interchange in Livingston.
The 65-year-old male driver of the Mini suffered a serious facial injury and was rushed to St John’s Hospital for treatment.
The vehicles were being driven between the Lizzie Bryce Roundabout and Houston Interchange before the assault occurred.

“We would be keen to speak to anyone who witnesses the interaction and manner of driving of the two vehicles or anyone who may have witnessed the subsequent assault after the vehicles were stopped.
“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage from the time.
“We understand that a passing HGV sounded its horn at the time of the assault and we would be keen to identify and speak to the driver of this vehicle.
