The offending female was described as having had her hair tied back with a white scrunchy and was wearing a black puffer jacket over a long-sleeve black adidas top.
She is said to have been wearing white adidas stripes running down the sleeves, blue distressed jeans with rips at the knees, and orange Nike shoes.
“We are asking anyone who knows the female, or who witnessed the incident, to get in touch with police as soon as possible,” Jones said.
The attack comes after a spate of youth-related crime and assaults in Hastings during the past few weeks.
A 14-year-old was at the centre of an investigation into several recent assaults in central Hastings and has been charged with three separate assaults spanning the past few months that targeted vulnerable members of the community.
Police also allege the teen had several accomplices, aged 12 and 13.
It is unknown if this is linked in any way to the incident on June 24.
Police are asking anyone with information on last Saturday’s incident to contact them via 105, quoting file number 230626/3984.
Information can also be passed anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
