South Yorkshire Police has confirmed the cordon has since been lifted but the hunt for the attacker or group responsible continues, with no arrests having been made so far. It is not yet known how many people the force is searching for, but residents on several Facebook community groups have claimed as many as "four lads" may have been involved.

Anyone with information can contact police online by calling 101, quoting incident number 709 of March 26, 2024.
