Cowardly attack could have ended in a fatality


Police are investigating the serious assault of a man that occurred at approximately 3.30am on 4 September 2016 on Elliott Street, Auckland City.

The 18-year old-victim was approached by the offender who punched him in the face.

The punch knocked the victim to the ground where he lost consciousness.

The victim’s injuries included a fractured skull and concussion.

The offender was described as being a male Polynesian, 6 feet tall, medium to athletic build, aged in his early 20s, and wearing a long sleeved red checked shirt.

The offender was captured on CCTV shortly before the attack and he is shown sitting on the front of the pictured Nissan Pulsar.

“This was an unprovoked attack that could have easily resulted in the death of the victim,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Aaron Pascoe.
