The incident took place at around 11.30pm on August 16 at the taxi rank on Court Square Brow, next to Carlisle Railway Station.

Anyone who has information can report it online through the police reporting service, quoting incident number 277 of August 16. Information can also be provided by calling 101, allowing officers to assess any details that may help establish what happened and identify those involved.
People who may have witnessed the assault are being encouraged to come forward even if they believe their information may be minor. Dashcam recordings from vehicles travelling through the area around the time of the incident could also provide useful evidence for the investigation.
Information can also be provided anonymously through Crimestoppers. The independent charity can be contacted on 0800 555 111, allowing members of the public to share information without giving their name or personal details.
