Earlier this week a man was struck by a car and then assaulted by one of its occupants during a violent afternoon incident in the Forth Valley area.

The incident happened at around 1.10pm on Wednesday, July 2 on Cambusbarron Main Street when a 41-year-old man was struck by a blue Skoda Fabia, before a male passenger got out of the vehicle and assaulted him.

The vehicle was then seen leaving in the direction of Birkhill Road and was later found burnt out in a wooded area near to Bore Row, in the village of Plean.

Thankfully the victim did not require medical treatment.
