Police investigating a sexual assault in park have arrested two men in connection with the incident.

Officers are now hoping to identify two other men, pictured below, who were in the area at the time of the incident.

The victim, a 25-year-old woman, was targeted in park area between Krefeld Way and Bennion Road, in Beaumont Leys, Leicester, between 4pm and 6.30pm on Thursday September 27.

She was approached by four men, and was sexually assaulted by two of them.

Two men, aged 21 and 22, have been arrested in connection with the investigation.

The 21-year-old has been released on police bail pending further inquiries. The 22-year-old remains in police custody.

Detective Constable Ros Coulton said: "From our CCTV inquiries we have identified four men as being in the area at the time of the incident.

"We have identified two of the men, but if you are one of the men we are still trying to identify, or you know them, I urge you to come forward and help with our inquiries.

"The footpath that runs near to the park leads to a BMX track and, considering the time of day, we would expect a number of people to have been in the area. If you were there that afternoon and think you may have witnessed the incident, or have heard rumours locally about who may be involved, then please get in touch.''

Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact Det Con Coulton on 101.
