Police are seeking information after a woman was assaulted in Stoke on Wednesday night.

The woman was walking along the footpath on Cobham Crescent when she was assaulted by an unknown man at approximately 7:15pm.

The man is described as Maori, aged in his early to mid fifties, approximately 5 ft 6″ tall, and of a slim build.

At the time of the assault, he had a beard and was wearing a grey sweatshirt and jeans.

Although the incident took place less than 800 metres from the spot where a young girl was assaulted on Monday, Police do not believe the incident is related.
