A man has been left injured after being attacked by a gang in Ayr.

The 27-year-old was approached and threatened by a man on a bike wearing a ski mask after he parked his car on Russell Drive.

The cyclist was wearing all black, including a black mask, and riding an orange and black bicycle.

Shortly after this a group of people attacked the victim.

They then proceeded to throw items at his car, causing extensive damage, before making off in an unknown direction.

Detective constable Paul McRoberts said: "We have been carrying out a number of enquiries, however are now appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident, or has any information, to get in touch.
