Police are looking for five people involved in two unrelated assaults in Shepparton in northern Victoria at the weekend.

A 21-year-old man was kicked and pelted with rocks in Corio Street about 1.00am AEDT on Saturday.

Four men jumped out of a car and attacked him.

The next morning an 18-year-old woman was punched in the face by a man in the Maude Street Mall about 4.00am.

Detective Senior Constable Mark Berens says there were some people in the mall area at the time.

"There obviously maybe possible witnesses that may be able to assist us and we'd like them to come forward and contact the police in relation to it," he said.

"So anyone who was walking in the mall at approximately 4.00 in the morning, we'd like to speak to them."
