They have not suffered lasting injuries but Cleveland Police said they 'experienced temporary discomfort and loss of senses'.
The first attacker was described as being a man, about 6ft tall and wearing dark clothing with a hood pulled up on his head.
The second was much smaller at 5ft tall, wearing a hood and dark clothing, and it was not known if the second attacker was male or female.
