Leicestershire Police released CCTV pictures of two men they want to question in relation to the attack.

Det Ch Insp Phil Smith said: "We have already spoken to a number of people who witnessed the incident. However, it is very important we speak to anyone who was in the area between 0315 and 0330 BST on Sunday.

"The three people involved would have been quite distinctive as the victim was wearing a jacket and tie and one of the suspects was wearing a yellow shirt and had long, dark hair. The other was wearing a beige shirt and had a shaven head."
