Police are continuing to appeal for information in relation to a serious assault on Summit Road on the weekend of 20-21 July.
A man in his 70s was on Summit Road at the top of the Rapaki Track when he approached and assaulted by another man between 11pm on Saturday 20 July and 7am on Sunday 21 July.
Police are now able to provide a description of the offender, along with his vehicle and dogs.
The man is described as a Pākehā aged in his early 30s.
He was driving an older-style van, which had a shape similar to a VW Kombi van, with a square front, flat roof and metal or chrome bands across the front grille. The van is light brown/beige or grey-coloured and has oval headlights.
The man had two dogs with him, which appeared to be part-Doberman and were aggressive.
The victim sustained serious head and facial injuries and remains in hospital.
