The 26 year-old victim suffered injuries to her jaw in the incident, which occurred between 4pm and 7.20pm at the Oakwell Hall Country Park in Birstall on Friday.

Police described the three suspects as white, wearing tracksuits, hoodies, and baseball caps.

One of the men is said to have a short, scruffy beard.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity of the park and either witnessed the incident itself, or saw three men matching the descriptions given.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Constable 1641 Topham at Kirklees CID via 101.
