As stated by West Coast Area Investigations Manager, Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Brent Lyford:
Police are appealing for information following an unprovoked assault at an address in Greymouth on the weekend.
On Saturday 21 February, around 11.15pm, Police received a report that man had entered an address on Reid Street, Blaketown and assaulted one of the occupants, before being confronted by another occupant and leaving.
The assault victim sustained minor injuries, and the pair are understandably very shaken by the incident.
Police have conducted initial enquiries, including assessing available CCTV footage, but have been unable to identify the offender and are now seeking the public's assistance.
The man is described to be in his 40s, Caucasian, and of medium build. He was reported to be wearing a black short sleeved rugby-type top and long pants. He has dark short hair, and his face appeared to be dirty.
The home occupants also describe the man to be disoriented and seemed under the influence.
