The fifth suspect is described as male and was wearing grey or black jogger pants and a black puffer jacket.
No arrests have been made at this stage. Enquiries are very much ongoing.
DI John McNamara, of East CID, said: “This unacceptable violence will not be tolerated by the police and enquiries are ongoing to identify everybody involved. We know there were people in the street at the time of this incident, who were left shocked and worried by what they saw.
“We have a dedicated team of officers working on this case and patrols have been increased in the area as a precaution.
“I would ask any witnesses or anybody with dashcam, mobile phone, CCTV or doorbell footage which could assist our investigation to make contact with the police as soon as possible. Both vehicles suffered damage in the incident and I would ask anybody who potentially saw them in the aftermath to get in touch.”
