Police are desperate to track down a cyclist who was at a park on Auckland's North Shore when a woman was seriously assaulted last week.

They are still appealing for information from the public as the investigation continues into the incident at Stanley Bay Park in Devonport on Tuesday, February 8.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Poland says at around 8:30pm, a woman in her 30s was seriously assaulted while exercising on a walking track.

"Police are particularly interested in hearing from a cyclist who was in Stanley Bay Park at the time of the assault and may have seen something that could help with the investigation.

"They are also keen to hear from anyone who may have been at the Stanley Bay Wharf between 6-9.30pm on Tuesday 8 February."

Det Snr Sgt Poland reassured the Devonport community that they are treating the matter seriously and we are doing everything we can to identify the offender involved.

"Our team of detectives are still carrying out a number of enquiries in relation to this assault. Our increased Police presence remains in the area and will continue to do so," he said.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Police on 105 and quote file number 220209/0390.
