Police have released a photo of a group of individuals they say may be able to assist with an investigation into an assault on an autistic person in Hamilton nearly five months ago.

A member of the public was assaulted by a group of unknown people on Sandwich Rd in St Andrews at around 6pm on March 2.

“The victim, who is autistic and has the mental age of a 6-year-old, sustained moderate injuries and is understandably very shaken by this incident,” a police spokesperson said.

Police said they would like to speak to the people pictured as they may have information that could assist with the investigation.

Anyone with relevant information or who recognised the group should contact police on 105.
