Police are looking for a man, described to be in his late-40’s after an assault in Meeanee, Napier last week.
The assault happened on the Limestone Track, between Ulyatt Road and Riverbend Road. Police got the call on Friday March 6 just before 7.30am.
Acting Detective Sergeant Emma Wiltshire said the victim was able to get to safety with no injuries, but they are very shaken by the incident.
The offender has so far not been found and police are now asking the public for any information.
Wiltshire said the man has been described as Caucasian with bright blue eyes in his late 40s.
“He has short black spikey hair, shorter on the sides than on top, and short dark grey facial hair that covered his cheeks, moustache, and chin area. He is skinny to average build and approximately 6ft/182cm tall.
He was reported to be wearing a black trenchcoat, a dark grey scarf, black pants, and black leather-type shoes. The trenchcoat had buttons down the front and deep pockets on the side.”
Police are asking anyone who has seen this man or witnessed the incident to contact police.
Anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage of the Ulyatt Road and Riverbend Road areas between 7am and 8am on the day of the assault is also encouraged to get in touch.
Information can be provided through 105, either online or over the phone, referencing file number 260307/3213.
