Five teenagers are to stand trial accused of trying to murder a boy and leaving him unconscious on a railway track.
Jordan Duncan, 18, Stephen Fairservice, 18, Adam Tennant, 18, Josh Todd, 18, and a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named, faced the allegation at the High Court in Glasgow.
The indictment lists two locations for the incident on May 4, 2018, including Lanark train station in Lanarkshire.
It is claimed the boy was struck on the head with a piece of concrete as well as being repeatedly punched and kicked until unconscious on the ground.
Prosecutors claim the boy was then dragged on to a “live railway line”.

The attempted murder charge states this was to his severe injury, permanent disfigurement and to the danger of his life. Lawyers for the five pleaded not guilty on their behalf at the hearing.
A trial was fixed for March next year.
