Wellington District Court.
By RNZ
A man has appeared in court after a stabbing outside a central Wellington supermarket on Thursday night.
Police were called to the Lambton Quay Countdown just before 8pm. The victim was taken to the hospital in a serious condition, suffering from stab wounds.
Police said an arrest was made “swiftly” after members of the public reported the incident immediately.
On Friday morning, a 23-year-old man appeared in the Wellington District Court facing charges of assault, intent to cause grievous bodily harm and wounding, and assaulting a police constable to obstruct them in the execution of duty.
The man, who has interim name suppression, will appear in court again next Friday.
