The three men, who were wearing all black, had their faces covered, the force said.
They were armed with a baton and assaulted the victim, who was not seriously injured.
Officers say they left in a Seat car that was captured on CCTV parked nearby.
Detectives are asking for anyone who recognises the vehicle or has any information to come forward.
