Women injured, witnesses sought

Avondale CIB staff and the Auckland City Police Serious Crash Unit are investigating a serious assault on a 43 year-old sex worker and, shortly afterwards, a 36 year-old hit-and-run incident involving a woman on Ponsonby Rd at about 4.30 this morning.

Police have located and are examining a Ford Laser car which was found abandoned in Sarsfield St in Herne Bay later this morning and are currently speaking with a 23 year-old man who is believed to have been driving the car when the crash occurred.

He was located at a Hillcrest, North Shore address mid-morning.

The 43 year-old woman who was assaulted is in a comfortable condition in hospital. The hit-and-run victim has a serious leg injury but her condition has been described as comfortable.

Avondale CIB would like to hear from any witnesses to either the assault or the crash which happened on Ponsonby Rd near Western Park - callers can contact Detective Sergeant Jason McIntosh on 09 820 5781.
