Police investigating an assault on a young mother in Plymouth are looking to identify three men in connection with the incident.

It took place on Sunday 18 April, at around 8.45pm, when a young woman who was pushing her baby in a pram on a path that leads from Efford Lane to Wycliffe Road, was assaulted by three men.

The woman was walking along the path and asked the men, who were unknown to her, to allow her to pass, and was attacked from behind.

The three men left the scene after the attack, leaving the mother with injuries that required hospital treatment.

An investigation has been opened into the incident and police are looking to identify the three unknown male suspects.

They are all around 5ft 11ins, with one thought to have blond hair and of a thin build, another to have mousey brown hair, who was wearing black tracksuit bottoms and black trainers that had red detailing on them.

The woman had no clear recollection of what the third man looked like.
