Police respond to naked protest

- Alice Peacock

Police are looking into allegation­s that two women were physically assaulted on Auckland’s Karangahap­e Rd, after the pair held a graphic protest at the scene.

The two women stood naked outside St Kevin’s Arcade on Friday morning, with tape over their mouths and a blood-like substance smeared over their bodies.

They had messages written in black pen on their chests and a sign explained their protest action, detailing an alleged assaulted by a man on Karangahap­e Rd in January. The women claimed the man hit them after they had rejected his sexual advances.

They took issue with the police response when they reported what had happened.
