He sustained cuts and bruises to his head and body in the assault which happened around 3.50am.

His attackers were described as adults - one is around 5ft 9ins with light-coloured hair and wearing a t-shirt and grey shorts. The other was dressed in dark clothing.

Officers are investigating the incident which appears to be an unprovoked attack.

They are appealing for witnesses to come forward, or anyone who may be able to identify the two suspects.
