A 17-year-old boy has been arrested following an investigation into a spate of attacks on women joggers in Auckland.

The charges relate to five alleged incidents between August and November, three of which occurred on Auckland's North Shore and two in West Auckland.

Detective Senior Sergeant Callum McNeill, from Waitemata CIB, said the investigation was ongoing and police could not rule out the possibility of further charges.

"We know these incidents have caused significant concern in these communities and our team of detectives have been working hard to hold the alleged offender to account."

Some of the women who were attacked were left with injuries including, a dislocated shoulder, broken nose and a concussion.

The first incident on Auckland's North Shore happened in Murrays Bay on the North Shore on October 10 when a woman who was jogging along a walkway was grabbed from behind.

A second attack took place on October 24 when a woman walking in the same area was assaulted.

The third attack happened in Moire Park in Massey, West Auckland on October 26.

The fourth attack happened while a woman was running between Browns Bay Rd and Beechwood Rd on November 8.

At the time, Detective Senior Sergeant Callum McNeill, Waitematā East area investigations manager, labelled the attacks as "despicable attacks on lone women".

The teenager has been charged with three counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, assault with intent to commit sexual violation and assault with intent to injure.

He will appear at Youth Court on Saturday.
