POLICE are hunting a gang of men who allegedly surrounded a car and attacked its passengers.

The woman driver and two male passengers were left shaken after the attack on the car in Harold Avenue, Burnley in the early hours of the morning.

Of those four, three have been released on police bail and the other has been released with no further action action to be taken.

PC Justin Brown, of Padiham police, said: "The woman was in the car with two male passengers when they came across the gang.

"They surrounded the car and made the driver stop. We now want to hear from the passengers."
