Police are searching for a woman who left someone with serious facial injuries in an attack on an Auckland bus.

The assault took place as the bus was travelling through Pakuranga about 9.15am on Friday.

"This was an unprovoked assault, which left the victim with serious facial injuries," he said.

The attacker had fled from the bus before police arrived at the scene.
