A police cordon was put in place on the corner of Bootham and Marygate, next to the Hamlet of St Marygate, but was removed at 9.40am today.
An officer was seen taking photographs of the area that had been taped off.
The spokesman added: “The victim, a local woman, is receiving specialist support while inquiries continue."
He said the arrested men, both from York, were still being held in custody this evening for questioning.
