“There have been no arrests so far, but enquiries, such as CCTV trawls, are ongoing to determine who is responsible. At this stage, we do believe the attack to be an isolated incident involving those known to one another.
“We have spoken to a number of witnesses so far, but would encourage anyone who believes they have any information or dash cam footage which could assist our investigation, particularly that which may help us identify the perpetrators, to come forward. You can do this be speaking to officers on the ground, by calling 101 or contacting Crimestoppers if you would prefer to remain anonymous.”
