Police have reassured a Hawke's Bay community there is no further danger to the public after a woman was stabbed in Maraenui the day before Mother's Day.
Detective senior sergeant Martin James said the 25-year-old woman who was stabbed at a property on Kelvin Rd on Saturday was still recovering in hospital.
She was being supported by family.
Emergency services were called to the address after a passerby heard a woman calling for help.
Police had not yet formally interviewed her due to the nature of her injuries, James said.
