“Our officers have now left the scene in and around People’s Park but remain on patrol around the town centre so please speak to a uniformed officer if you have any concerns.
“Please get in touch with us if you witnessed anything that might assist our investigation, or you have mobile phone, dash-cam, video doorbell or CCTV footage from the area at around the time of the assault, if you haven’t already.
“You can contact us online via our website, or by calling 101, quoting reference number 43240373021.
