A judge yesterday asked police to find an Otira man who tipped a paraplegic out of her wheelchair before punching, kicking and urinating on her.
Tuhi Yorke, 25, committed the offence in Christchurch on December 17, 2000, but had avoided a court appearance by hiding in Otira until March this year when he admitted assaulting the woman.
York was to appear for sentencing in Greymouth yesterday but failed to front.
