Its believed there may be other victims as well.

“We’ve spoken to the female victim but when reviewing CCTV footage, we have seen two different men have been assaulted but they were not traceable so we’d really like to speak with them.
“The offender may have also assaulted two builders working near to Church Lane so please get in touch if that was you or you have any information about them.
“Any witnesses or anyone with information or any images or footage of the assault should call 101 or make a report on our website, quoting reference number 43240380074.
“Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via its website.”
