A woman has woken in an Auckland quarry with a man standing over her with a bat ... and no memory of how she arrived.

The 23-year-old woman was last seen in Ponsonby about 10.20pm on Saturday.

She then woke up, beaten and battered, four hours later and 25 kilometres away in Riverhead.

The woman managed to get away and call for help.

Police are still searching for a man seen on CCTV footage speaking to the woman at about 10.20pm that night.

They were near a Mobil station at the corner of Ponsonby and Karangahape roads.

Police want to hear from anyone who recognises the man - who was wearing a long-sleeved collared shirt, shorts, and black or navy Nike sneakers.
​
Police said the woman had been partying with friends along Ponsonby Rd earlier in the evening after the Pride Parade.

They said the group of friends separated briefly and were to meet at another bar later in the night along Karangahape Rd, but never did.

The woman then experienced a two-to-three-hour blackout and can't remember anything.
