Sex attacker sought

A barefoot sex attacker with an American accent is still on the loose in Northland but police say information about him is flowing in.

The man sexually attacked an English tourist on the walking track between the Waitangi Treaty House grounds and Haruru Falls last Wednesday. He dragged her into the carpark, sexually assaulted her and left her traumatised and bruised.

The attacker was in his mid to late 30s with dark brown hair. He wore a large ring on his right hand, blue jeans and a navy blue shirt with a white circular pattern on the front. He was barefoot and carried a full backpack.
