“I am keen to speak to anyone who might have information about what happened or who is responsible. If you saw the assault itself or anyone acting suspiciously in the area before the attack I would like to hear from you. I would also ask anyone who has any footage to come forward.

“I appreciate hearing about this incident may concern people in the community, but we have a team of officers and staff working hard to piece together what has happened.
