Wellington police are investigating the third sexual assault in the city in about a week.
This morning's alleged attack happened on Taranaki St at about 5.30am.
Police did not believe the attack was connected to an assault on Wednesday, when a man dragged a woman into the bushes on a walkway between Ohiro Rd and Brooklyn Rd at about 7pm.
Yesterday, a 40-year-old man was arrested after a sexual assault on a 65-year-old woman in Porirua last Friday.
The Johnsonville man has been charged with rape, abduction, aggravated wounding, threatening to kill, burglary and three sexual violation offences.
