Police in Glenrothes are seeking three men after a man was assaulted in what is being treated as a hate crime.
A CCTV image has been circulated by police following the incident, which happened shortly after 9pm on Sunday August 23.
A 19-year-old man was assaulted near the Kino Cinema in the town centre area, a short distance from the bus station.
Police have released further descriptions of the three men they wish to speak to and are asking for the public to assist them with their enquiries.
The first is described as white, aged around 21 years-old, about 5ft 7ins tall, of muscular build and with black curly short hair with stubble on his face.
He spoke with a local accent and wore a tight black T-shirt and black trousers.
The second man is believed to be aged around 18 years-old, slim with short dark brown hair with blonde highlights.
On the night of the incident he was wearing a black coloured reflective jacket and dark blue jeans.
The third person is also believed to be around the age of 18, slim, and spoke with a local accent. He wore a grey hooded top which remained up.
He also had black coloured cargo trousers on, with two large pockets that appeared to be stained with paint.
