"As well as the injured party and the assailant; a male walking alone, and a male and female couple are also believed to have walked along Little May Street in the direction of Catherine Street North at the time of the incident, and I would ask these three individuals to give detectives at the Public Protection Unit at Strandtown Police Station a call with any information they may have. The number to call is 101 and the reference number is 246 25/11/18.”
