THREE young yobs dragged an 87-year-old disabled man off his mobility scooter for fun.
Police say the teenagers "laughed their heads off" as the pensioner shouted for help and struggled to get back up.
They then cycled off, leaving him helpless on the ground.
The neds were cycling in Rex Park, Dunfermline, on Wednesday when they spotted the old man on a path.
They caught up with him and blocked his way with their bikes.
One of the thugs then grabbed his arm and dragged him off the scooter and on to the ground.
After the thugs cycled off, two passers-by heard the pensioner's cries and helped him back on to his electric scooter.
Police are appealing to the helpful strangers to come forward in the hope that they will be able to help catch the thugs.
A police spokesman said: "This is a particularly nasty incident.
"We would like any member of the public who may have seen this incident to contact us.
"We are particularly interested in speaking with the people who helped the elderly man."
Anyone with information should call the police on 01592 251111 Or Crimestoppers on: 0800 555111
