Police have released images of a woman they hope the public can identify after an alleged serious assault of a baker at a busy Christchurch shopping centre. The incident, which left the father-of-two needing extensive dental repairs after losing teeth, happened at Palms Shopping Centre on September 6. Matt Sherwood, owner of Christchurch baked goods company By The Sugar Daddy, had a stall set up when a woman put her groceries down on his table. Matt Sherwood has had six teeth removed since he was assaulted at a shopping centre on Father's Day Weekend. “I was like ‘Gday, how’s it going’, and she just muttered something and went to open a drink that just started to fizz everywhere,” Sherwood said. But Sherwood said when he went to help the woman, he was confronted within seconds as the woman yelled, “F*** you, man” before leaning over and striking him in the face. “I sort of got concussed for a bit of a minute, and I just turned around and heard something hit the ground,” Sherwood said. “My blood was everywhere. I could feel my tongue and my tooth was just poking out the side. Matt Sherwood, said the incident happened so fat he did not have time to react. Photo / Supplied “It happened so fast, I just couldn’t believe it.” Sherwood said mall security arrived, along with police and ambulance staff, but the woman fled. Sherwood’s wife was in the mall with their two young children and arrived at what he described as a “chaotic scene”. His injuries meant he would need to lose six teeth and have multiple dental consultations – a process which he said has cost him and his family thousands. Police are asking the public to help identify this woman to assist with enquiries into an assault of a Christchurch baker. Photo / Police The images now shared by police show a woman with thick curly ginger hair, wearing a multi-coloured scarf, grey T-shirt, black track pants and bare feet. In her hands she carries a bottle of fizzy drink and other groceries. Police asked anyone who recognised the woman to contact them on 105 quoting file number 250906/5245. Information could also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111. Earlier, Sherwood said he had been left “frustrated” with what he said was a drawn-out almost four-week process for police to find the person responsible. “Every single sort of point we get to, it’s just like it’s forced,” Sherwood said. “I feel like I’ve done something wrong all the time. “Even if it did take seven weeks, I think I would have liked some sort of timeline, and just to keep up with stuff and contact me and tell me the time frame. “It could have been over and done with.” Last week, a police spokesperson said that staff had been in contact with the victim multiple times since the matter, providing updates. “We continue to make progress with our investigation and will continue to update the victim when there is further information to share,” they said.

The mother of the Phillips children has been added to the legal proceedings around the suppression of key details of the high-profile case. Catherine Christey, represented by lawyer Michael Bott, has been made a party to the injunction proceedings, originally brought by Tom Phillips’ mother, Julia Phillips. Lawyers for the media are pushing for the injunction to be lifted, but there is no end in sight following a hearing in Wellington this morning. The suppressions were made just hours after the Phillips children were rescued from a remote Waikato campsite in September. The order, requested by Phillips’ mother, Julia Phillips, blocked major media organisations, police and Oranga Tamariki from sharing certain information about the matter. Tom Phillips was killed in the early hours of September 8 after entering into a shootout with police, during which he critically injured an officer. The standoff brought to a close a four-year ordeal that gripped the attention of the nation, after Phillips abducted his three children in 2021 and took them into hiding in the wilderness. The Phillips’ children were in Oranga Tamariki (OT) custody after being rescued last month. The injunction order was argued in court last month before Justice Helen Cull, who suppressed all reporting of the hearing aside from the fact that it happened and the status of the injunction. It was then argued again a week later. She then extended the injunction until today, to be discussed again. NZME and other media organisations have opposed the injunction. At today’s hearing, Justice Cull again suppressed the arguments heard in court, and said she would release a minute based on her decision today. The injunction is not expected to lift at this stage.

Missing for four years Phillips and his children first went missing in September 2021 for three weeks, and police launched an extensive search operation, including using a plane, helicopter and heat-detecting drones, after his Toyota Hilux was found on Kiritehere Beach. Phillips returned home at the end of that month and revealed he and the children had been living in dense bush nearby. Police charged him with causing wasteful deployment of personnel and resources and a court date of January 12, 2022, was set after delays caused by Covid restrictions.
