“We were quickly on the scene and made two arrests. They have since been released, so we are appealing to the general public to help us with our investigation.

“Did you see the incident? Do you know anyone who was involved? Perhaps they've been talked about it in passing on Monday?

“If you can help, any tiny bit of information could help with our enquiries.”
