A man has appeared in court accused of wounding a 66-year-old man at the Dunedin Botanic Garden.
Sergeant Matthew Lee said a 54-year-old Dunedin man fled the scene on a mountain bike but was later arrested by detectives.
A witness to the aftermath of the incident said it happened on a path near the carpark in the lower gardens.
The victim looked like he had been slashed, with a deep cut on his face, the witness said.
