Police seek information following Hamilton assault

Hamilton Police are seeking assistance from the public to identify those responsible for an assault in the city early this morning.
 
A 22-year-old woman was assaulted while walking home along Memorial Drive at around 3.15am, receiving moderate injuries.
 
The two offenders were male and dressed as clowns.
 
This was a very frightening experience for the young woman and Police are keen to identify the offenders and prevent any further such incidents.
 
Police would like to speak to the occupants of a white van which was seen in the area at the time of the assault.  
 
We'd also like to hear from anyone who saw people dressed as clowns in the city overnight between 7 - 8 October.
 
Please call Hamilton Police on 07 858 6200 if you have information which may be relevant.  Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
