"The attack has happened on a footpath that connects two of the main roads in the Townhill area and with a large number of residential properties close by.
"I am appealing to anyone who was out and about in the vicinity of either Gwynedd Avenue or Townhill Road and saw the culprits or has any relevant information to come forward."
Police have issued descriptions of two men they want to talk to.
