"I am appealing for anyone who recognises this man to contact me as soon as possible."

The second attacker is white, with a pale complexion, aged in his mid twenties and of average height and build. He has freckles around his nose and under his eyes, with bushy collar-length hair that is mousy brown, almost dark ginger in colour.

He was wearing a dark zip-up top.

The third man is white, aged in his thirties, over six feet tall and of a medium build. He has short dark brown hair, brown eyes and was described as lanky looking, with a square jaw.

He was wearing a cream or beige hooded pullover-style jacket and either brown jeans or beige corduroy trousers.

DC Marks continued:

"I am appealing for anyone who has any information about any of these three men to contact me immediately.

"It may be that a number of people know, or think that they know, the identity of the men responsible and I would urge them to do the right thing and call Dorset Police at the earliest opportunity."
