Police have arrested a 17-year-old after attacks on women on walking tracks in Auckland.
The male accused has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, assault with intent to commit sexual violation and assault with intent to injure. He is due to appear in the YouthCourt tomorrow.
The charges relate to five alleged incidents between August and November, three of which occurred on Auckland's North Shore and two in West Auckland.
Detective Senior Sergeant Callum McNeill would not rule out further charges.
"We want to thank the public for the information they've provided to Police throughout our investigation.
"We know these incidents have caused significant concern in these communities and our team of detectives have been working hard to hold the alleged offender to account, he said."
The first incident on Auckland's North Shore happened in Murrays Bay on the North Shore on October 10 around 7.45am when a woman who was jogging along a walkway was grabbed from behind.
The woman suffered a number of injuries including a broken collarbone and concussion after she was thrown to the ground.
