Police are hunting three robbers who assaulted an Auckland dairy employee and a customer with an iron bar last night.

Detective Senior Sergeant Marcia Murray said Auckland Police needed the public's help to find the car used in the robbery in Onehunga.

The masked robbers targeted a dairy on Arthur St at 5.55pm on Saturday evening, she said.

A worker was assaulted and suffered a cut to the head, and a customer standing at the counter was also assaulted, Murray said. Police believe an iron bar was used.
