A British tourist charged with assaulting a woman at Auckland's Takapuna Beach can now be named.

James Nolan, 26, lost his name suppression today after he failed to appear at the Auckland District Court for a second time.

An arrest warrant is out for him.

Mr Nolan is also charged with using a motor vehicle recklessly during the incident last month, and was later charged with fraud.
