A 50-year-old man has been charged with wounding with intent to injure after an alleged attack in Ohoka landing two people in hospital.
Emergency services were called to a property on Mandalea Rd in Ohoka, on the outskirts of Christchurch, about 4.20 this afternoon amid reports of a "small number of people being injured".
The man was taken into custody and is due to appear in Christchurch District Court on Saturday, a police spokesperson said.
"The exact circumstances of what occurred are being determined," police said this afternoon.
A St John spokeswoman told the Herald two people had been transported to Christchurch Hospital in a moderate condition and a third person was treated at the scene.
