“Officers have been carrying out door-to-door enquiries and viewing CCTV to identify the men and trace the van and I would appeal to anyone who may have seen or heard the disturbance or assault to contact police.
“We would be keen to view any dashcam or doorbell footage from the street between 7pm and 7.45pm on Monday night just in case it caught footage that would assist the investigation.
