A man was seriously injured after being hit in the face during a road-rage incident in East Lothian.
The 59-year-old was driving towards East Fortune on the B1377 between 2pm and 3pm on November 26.
A grey Volkswagen Golf approached from the opposite direction, travelling towards Drem.
The man got out of his blue Land Rover Discovery near the village's train station and the attacker also got out of his car.
He was assaulted and suffered a serious facial injury.
Chief inspector Matt Paden, local area commander for East Lothian, said: "Road rage incidents are unacceptable and thankfully rare in East Lothian, nevertheless we are treating this incident seriously and I would encourage any members of the public to come forward with information."
After the incident, the victim attended Edinburgh Royal Infirmary before being released following treatment.
The suspect is described as white, aged around 35, 5ft 9ins, stocky and with short brown hair.
He was wearing a grey t-shirt, blue jeans and spoke with a local accent.
Officers urged those with information to contact Dalkeith CID via 101, quoting incident number 2187 of December 3, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
