The males were filmed walking along Grey Friars Road at about 11.58pm on Saturday, November 3, before taking the turn towards the entrance to Cardinal Park, and then passing the side of the Golden Dragon Chinese restaurant just after midnight – about the same time a woman was punched in the face by a passer-by on Stoke Bridge.
Officers would like to trace the two individuals as they may be able to assist with enquiries.
They were both wearing dark-coloured clothing – one of them wearing a jacket which appeared to black across the shoulders and otherwise grey.
In the first black and white clip their clothing appears light-coloured, but the second colour clip shows it not to be the case.
Detectives released CCTV footage of the assault itself, which happened at about 12.05am on Sunday, November 4, near the entrance to the skate park.

When she reached the entrance to the skate park, she passed another person who appeared to strike her with a single punch, resulting in her falling to the ground. The suspect did not break stride and continued walking in the direction of Stoke Street.
A few moments later, members of the public stopped to assist the victim and call an ambulance. She was then taken to Ipswich Hospital, having sustained a serious head and eye injury, before later being transferred to Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
