The woman was left with life-threatening injuries when she was assaulted after confronting an intruder in her Eden Terrace home just before midnight on December 2.

Police described the man as being of dark-skinned Maori appearance, 28 to 35 years old, 1.7m tall, thin, wiry build, no facial hair and dark hair that was long at the back.
