Scots boy left with 10 staples in his head 'thought he was going to die' in park attack

A schoolboy left with ten staples in his head after being violently beaten during a game of football told his mum he thought he was going to die.

Alexander Stewart, 11, was knocked to the ground, stamped and kicked by an older boy in a playing field in Bo'ness.

The argument had started while the boys, who were not well-known to each other, were involved in a game of football.
