They are described as white, late teens and wearing face coverings. The victim sustained superficial injuries to his leg.

Detective inspector Alyson Keenan said: "This appears to have been an unprovoked attack and we are determined to find those responsible. We think that vehicles would have been passing by and potentially captured this incident.

"We are particularly keen to speak a number of drivers who may have witnessed and filmed this incident, as well as anyone else in the vicinity. Anyone with information can contact us @MerPolCC with reference 23000175171, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
