As stated by Acting Detective Sergeant Emma Wiltshire - Hawke's Bay CIB:
Police are appealing for information following an assault in Meeanee, Napier, last week.
On Friday 6 March, Police received a report of an assault that occurred just before 7.30am, on the Limestone Track, between Ulyatt Road and Riverbend Road.
Thankfully, the victim was able to get to safety uninjured, however they are understandably very shaken by the incident.
Police have conducted initial enquiries but have been unable to locate the offender and are now asking for the public's help.
Police are looking for a man described to be in his late 40s, Caucasian with bright blue eyes. 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.
