Police have now released images of two men, seen in the area at the time of the assault, who they would like to speak to in connection with their enquiries. “We appreciate that these images are not of the best quality, however they are the best that we have available at this time. We are hoping that if someone knows those pictured then they may recognise them, or perhaps someone may recognise them from their clothing,” the statement continued.

“Anyone who recognises the men pictured, or has any information which may assist our enquiries, is asked to call 101 quoting reference 44230220919.”
