An investigation into the assaults has been launched and officers are treating the incidents as linked.

Detectives have already spoken to a number of witnesses but they are now appealing to the public for information and have released the description of two males they believe were in the area at the time.

It is thought the males might hold information which can assist.

Both males are described as average height, slim build, with dark short hair and were both wearing dark jeans. One was wearing a dark T-shirt and the other a dark coloured hoody.

A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: "The males, or anyone who knows them is asked to contact police immediately.

"Anyone with information who has not yet come forward is also encouraged to get in touch."
