Appeal for information following reported assault, Greymouth
Police are appealing for information following an unprovoked assault at an address in Greymouth on the weekend.
On Saturday 21 February, around 11.15pm, Police received a report that man had entered an address on Reid Street, Blaketown and assaulted one of the occupants, before being confronted by another occupant and leaving.
The assault victim sustained minor injuries, and the pair are understandably very shaken by the incident.
Police have conducted initial enquiries, including assessing available CCTV footage, but have been unable to identify the offender and are now seeking the public’s assistance.
The man is described to be in his 40s, Caucasian, and of medium build.
He was reported to be wearing a black short sleeved rugby-type top and long pants.
He has dark short hair, and his face appeared to be dirty.
The home occupants also describe the man to be disoriented and seemed under the influence.
Police are asking for anyone that has seen a man matching this description, or any suspicious behaviour, in the Reid Street or immediate areas on Saturday 21 February.
Alternatively, if this was you, please get in touch.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
