Police are appealing for help catching a man who sexually assaulted a woman in Toi Toi, Nelson.

The offender talked his way inside saying he needed to use the toilet, before attacking her.

He then left the property on foot, and police have been unable to find him.

The offender is described as a teenaged Maori or Pacific Islander, of average height and slim build.

He is clean shaven and has short dark hair with bleach blonde tips, and was wearing a long, black thigh-length jacket.
