A woman was assaulted by a man in a west Auckland park over the long weekend.
Police said the victim was walking along the Manutewhau Track in Moire Park near West Harbout on Saturday evening when she was attacked.
The attacker was wearing muddy clothes and police have appealed for any witnesses who saw either the man or the attack to come forward.
"First, we want to hear from anyone who noticed a man in the Moire Park area that night that may have been acting suspiciously or wearing muddy clothing," Detective Senior Sergeant Megan Goldie said in a statement.
"Secondly we would like to remind everyone out walking alone to take extra care and remain aware of their surroundings."
