When the woman refused and attempted to leave two of the men assaulted her, striking her in the head and pulling her hair.
The woman was able to fight the men off, who then fled the scene on foot empty handed.
The 52-year-old woman was later transported to Ipswich General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
