“Although it was in the early hours, we do think there were quite a few people in the area who may have seen what happened.
“We also believe there were vehicles near the vicinity when the assault took place. If you were in the area around this time, please check your dash-cam or CCTV footage for anything significant.
“If you know of anything which could help our investigation, please get in touch.
“A cordon has been in place while initial investigations take place and we expect these to be lifted soon.
“We know this may be concerning to the community but we are in the early stages of this investigation and will be carrying out thorough enquiries to establish exactly what happened.
“We have also been made aware of a video being shared online and we would ask that this is shared with police rather than on social media to assist this investigation.
“This could be very distressing for the families and victims in this case and we would ask that this video is removed from social channels a this time.
