They were joined a short time later by another man who continued to walk along Lawrence Street with them before they turned off to walk along the path at the side of St Lawrence Church grounds.
The woman was then sexually assaulted but managed to run off from the men before coming across a group of people who walked her home.
Police are now appealing to motorists who were travelling along Lawrence Street in the early hours of Sunday to contact them, along with a group of people who walked the victim home.
