A man has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of a 62-year-old man in Bo'ness.

The incident happened around 18:30 on Wednesday within a property in the town's Barony Court.

The 62-year-old man was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with life-threatening injuries and is in a critical condition.

Daniel Gauld, of Bo'ness, was charged with attempted murder when he appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Friday.
