Police appeal for track walkers to come forward after attack

The police investigating a sexual assault on an English woman near Waitangi, say they've had a strong response from the public offering information.

The 27-year-old, who has been working in Bay of Islands, was attacked by a man on the walking track between Waitangi and Haruru Falls, late on Wednesday afternoon.

Detective Sergeant Rhys Johnston says while plenty of information has come in, investigators still need to hear from anyone who was on the popular track on Wednesday.

Rhys Johnston says the police and Bay of Islands community are giving every support they can to the victim and she is recovering.
