It is not "attempted rape" it is nowhere near rape. It is just a bit a male shenanigans.
Moronic stupidity more like it, desperados who can't get a woman through normal channels.
Moreover, these women could be prostitutes, it is dark, dressed in niqaab I know from experience in Pakistan during night time prostitutes dress like this. Not saying it is OK to harass prostitutes, but most likely they were customers.
Those women did not act like prostitutes welcoming a nights work, so no, they were simply wankers harrassing women.
