A Hastings man has been charged with injuring and hospitalising two different people during attacks in homes in the past few days.
Detective Senior Sergeant Sally Patrick said Hawke's Bay Police had arrested a 21-year-old man over two separate serious assaults that occurred, both on Lowe St in the suburb of Camberley, on Thursday and Saturday.
The first assault occurred about 11am on Thursday, Patrick said. One person received treatment at Hawke's Bay Hospital as a result and is now recovering at home.
The second assault occurred at a different home just before 9.20pm on Saturday.
A 20-year-old woman received serious injuries and was on Sunday night in Hawke's Bay Hospital undergoing surgery, Patrick said.
