A 38-year-old man is in a serious condition in hospital after being attacked by two men in balaclavas.

Officers were called to a property on Lower Bathville in Armadale at about 19.25 on Saturday.

Police Scotland said its inquiries suggested that the two men, who were also dressed all in black, had been seen in the area at the time.

They were later seen getting into a white car, which travelled west along Lower Bathville.

Det Sgt Keith Sinclair said: "Our inquiries to establish the full circumstances of this incident are ongoing, and we are asking anyone with information that may assist to come forward.

"Similarly, if you have CCTV, ring doorbell or dashcam footage, please review it and share anything that might assist us."
