A woman was cornered near the bar of a nightclub in York and sexually assaulted by two men. North Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses and information on the incident, which occurred in Flares nightclub on Tanner Row, in the early hours of Saturday the 10th of June. 

A spokesperson for the police force said: "The victim was approached by two men who cornered her near the bar and sexually assaulted her before she was able to leave the premises and seek the help of door staff. "The two men, who we believe to be in their mid-20s, are strangers to the victim and staff were unable to locate them at the time.

"We are appealing for information about the two men and encouraging anyone who may have knowledge of them to come forward." If you have any information that could assist the investigation, please call North Yorkshire Police on 101, option 1.
