Police have asked for the public's help to identify a man who allegedly assaulted a woman on an Auckland street earlier this month.
Police said the incident occurred after midnight on May 9 when the victim and offender walked down Sutton Crescent in Papatoetoe together.
At some point, an argument broke out between the pair, which continued as they walked towards Kolmar Road.
"The female victim attempted to walk away from the male offender but was assaulted."
Detective Senior Sergeant Hayward said the force of the assault knocked the woman to the ground, where the man continued his assault, using "extreme force".

According to police, CCTV footage showed the man walking away from the scene after the assault.
The woman was taken to Middlemore Hospital with serious injuries and was still recovering from the attack.
Hayward said a man was still being sought in connection with the assault, and despite a "thorough area canvass", no witnesses had been identified.
This morning, police released CCTV images of the man and asked for the public's help to identify him.
“There is no place for this extreme violence in the community, and I’m confident someone will know who this man is," Hayward said.
“We need to hear from you.”
Anyone with information was asked to call police on 105.
