Police are looking to trace a dark-coloured vehicle after a teenager was seriously assaulted in Stonehaven earlier this month.
A 19-year-old man was on Barclay Street with friends where he was attacked by a group of men who got out of a dark-coloured car.
The attackers then got back into the vehicle and drove off in the direction of Allardice Street, which runs through the town's high street.
The man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
It happened between 22:15 and 22:45 on Friday 9 February and officers have since carried out door-to-door enquiries and reviewed CCTV footage in the area.
Police Scotland are urging any motorists and taxi drivers in the area to check dash-cams as they may have footage of the dark-coloured vehicle.
Sergeant Chris Gardiner said: “This appears to be an unprovoked attack on a young man. We have been reviewing CCTV images, but I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to contact us. Any small piece of information could prove vital.
“In particular, I would like to ask taxi-drivers and motorists with dash cam equipment to check their footage as they could have unwittingly captured the dark-coloured car which could assist our investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 4179 of 9 February, 2024. Alternatively, please speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
