A teenager was punched in the head, knocked out and raped by an unknown man on a street in regional NSW.

NSW Police are now hunting for the man after the 19-year-old was grabbed as she walked through Goulburn on Friday night.

She was thrown to the ground, punched several times in the face, lost consciousness and was sexually assaulted.

The woman regained consciousness, ran to a nearby home and flagged down a passing motorist who took her to a police station.

NSW Police believe the incident on Bourke Street may be linked to an assault on nearby Blackshaw Road the week prior.

On April 5, a woman aged 18 was punched in the face by an unknown man but managed to escape.

The man is described as aged in his late 30s to early 40s, about 180cm tall, with a solid build, and a scruffy beard.
