A body of a man has been found in the Waikato River.
The man's body was pulled from the river at 10.30am today and a formal identification process was underway, police said this evening.
No further details were available tonight.
Searchers have been looking for a 36-year-old man since last Saturday who was wanted by police in relation to a serious assault on a young woman.
Previously police said they had tracked the man to the river, near Cobham Bridge. He was last seen in the water but despite extensive searches by dogs, boat and helicopter, he wasn't found.
