A woman who tried to escape a car in west Auckland last night was pulled back into the car and assaulted by the man she was with, police say.
A member of the public saw a man and woman having an argument in a newer model shiny silver Sedan on the corner of Raynella Drive and Triangle Road in Henderson about 9.20pm last night.
After the altercation, the car drove on Triangle Road towards Lincoln Road with both man and woman in the vehicle, police said.
The man was described as Maori, in his 50s, and of a large build. He has long black hair and was wearing a black cap at the time.
