The man charged with indecent assault after an attack in a South Auckland park is now facing more charges related to another incident last year.

He was charged with indecently assaulting the woman and robbery, and now faces more charges after a separate incident early last year.

Police say he is now also charged with threatening to kill, indecent assault, unlawful sexual connection, and assault with intent to commit a sexual violation.

He will appear in Manukau District Court on 27 February 2024.
