Christchurch police are appealing for sightings of a 29-year-old woman who was found with unexplained injuries in Addington on Friday.

The woman was last seen leaving the Dux Live bar on Lincoln Road about midnight and found intoxicated and distressed on Ferry Road about 2.30am.

Police say she had a number of injuries, including a large gash above her eye.

She is described as of slim build, about 167 cm tall, with medium length brown hair with red tips.
