The victim has been left shaken by the incident, and the police are doing all they can to locate the offenders.
Detective Constable Tessa Munt said: “At the time of the offence, Chester city centre would have been busy with people leaving bars and clubs following nights out.
“The victim has been left understandably shaken following this incident and we are doing all we can to locate the people responsible.
“I would appeal to anyone who was in the Eastgate Street area of Chester and may have seen something that didn’t look quite right to get in touch.
“The same goes to anyone who may have been in the area and has dashcam or mobile footage of the offence or offenders.
“Any information, no matter how small, could assist us in finding the offenders and bring them to justice.”
