Police want to speak to a group of youths over an attack on a 16-year-old boy after a beach party.

The teenager suffered facial injuries in the assault at a bus stop in Newburgh, Aberdeenshire, just after midnight on Friday.

Officers are seeking a group of young men who took the last bus from the town heading north at 12.10am.

Investigating officer Scott Dowie said: "We are aware that there was a beach party in Newburgh that evening where there would have been a large number of youths looking to get the last bus home.

"We need to speak to anyone who got that bus or was in the vicinity around the time the assault took place."
