The woman was assaulted by three men in Pearson Park early on Monday morning

Police are hunting three men after a woman was sexually assaulted while walking her dog in a Hull park.

The woman was approached by the men in Pearson Park at around 01:00 GMT on Monday.

They "grabbed her and proceeded to touch her inappropriately," Humberside Police said.

Det Insp Jon Jeffs, who is leading the investigation, said: "The woman was able to get away but has understandably been left distressed.

"She is receiving continued support by specially trained officers at this time.

'Remain vigilant'

"I know this incident will be of concern to the local community and I want to offer my reassurance that since this was reported to us, I've had a team of detectives conducting multiple lines of enquiry to identify those involved."

He added: "Whilst incidents of this nature remain rare, I would urge members of the public to please remain vigilant.

"You can expect to see an increased police presence in and around the area throughout the bank holiday weekend as officers from our Neighbourhood policing team step up patrols."

Detectives are appealing for information.

The men are described as white and were all wearing dark coloured clothing.
