Police are still looking for the offender after a daylight assault on a popular Wellington walkway earlier this month.

A woman was sexually assaulted about halfway up the stairs of the Rangituhi Colonial Knob walking track in the afternoon of Wednesday 18 June.

Detective Senior Sergeant Pete Middlemiss said police had received a great amount of information from the public, and they're calling for anyone else who was in the area to come forward and speak to them.

They were "especially interested" in speaking to anybody who entered or exited the walkway from the Raiah Street carpark entrance between 3pm and 4.30pm that day, he added.

"From the information we have already received, we have some lines of enquiry which the investigation team is continuing to follow."

Police were also still appealing for any information about a man who was wearing a dark-coloured long sleeve top, dark-coloured track pants and a cap, Patterson said.

"If you have any information, please contact Police via 105, either over the phone or online. Please reference file number 250618/1395."
