A 10-year-old girl was taken to hospital after she was knocked by a motorbike in a hit-and-run.
The victim and her family have been "left shaken" by the incident, police have said.
The hit-and-run happened on a footpath between Logan Way and Morrison Way in the Knightsridge area of Livingston at 7.40pm on Saturday.
Two suspects, aged around 18 or 19, fled the scene on a blue and white motorbike.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward to help them trace those responsible.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
