The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday 18 February.
Sometime between 2.45am and 3.45am, the victim - a 22-year-old man - was walking over the footbridge at Wellington railway station when he was punched by an unknown man.
The victim managed to leave the scene and continue on his journey home on foot but he then encountered two more men near Furrows garage.
