A car was driven at two teenage boys in Dumbarton last night.

The incident took place at around 9.10pm on Castlehill Road.

The two boys, both aged 15, were standing at the entrance to Castlehill Park (known locally as The Money) when a blue car struck them.

The car is believed to have been a blue Ford Mondeo.
