A man has been left with serious facial injuries after being assaulted and robbed in Fife.

The 37-year-old victim was walking to local shops when the incident took place in an alley between houses on Dunfermline’s Beath View.

He was attacked by two men who stole his wallet and cash at around 6pm on Monday.

The injured man then made his way to a nearby address where medical assistance was called.

Police are now appealing for information as they look to trace the suspects who are described as being in their 20s.

Both men are said to be around 5ft11 with muscular builds. One was wearing a white polo shirt and the other a grey jacket.

Detective Constable Megan Dodds is leading the inquiry.

She said: “The man was heading to the local shops when he was stopped by the men and assaulted.

“The suspects are described as White, both around 5ft11 in height, of muscular build and in their late 20s. One was wearing a white polo shirt; the other a grey jacket.

“This area is quite residential and is a busy road with motorists attending around that time to pick children up from a local school.

“If you have any ring-door or dash-cam footage from the street between 5.50pm and 6.10pm or indeed any information you think may assist officers with their investigation, please contact us as soon as possible.”
