A teenage driver was attacked in a McDonald's car park after he refused to give a man a lift in his car.

The 17-year-old victim was sitting in his car with friends at the McDonald's restaurant in Lochside, Dumfries, at around 11.55pm on Saturday when he was approached by a man who asked for a lift.

The attacker was last see walking towards Cuckoobridge.

Police are now appealing for witnesses after the "unprovoked" attack at the weekend.

"Anyone who can help identify the attacker is asked to call us at Dumfries on 101."
