At around 11.30am on 24 August, officers received a report that a woman in her thirties was attacked in the underpass between Vanguard Road and Serpentine Lane.
It was reported that a man walked past her and thrust a screwdriver into her hip before putting it back in his pocket and walking away toward the Holes Bay area.
The victim did not suffer any serious injuries.
The suspect is described as white, around six feet two inches tall, slim, with blonde shoulder-length hair. He was wearing a baseball cap, dark-blue jeans, and a cream-coloured T-shirt.
