A man wanted over a Queenstown stabbing was able to leave New Zealand on a plane but was nabbed entering Australia.
Police say the 20-year-old was picked up by Australian Federal Police after arriving in Australia at about 7pm on Monday.
A warrant had not been issued for his arrest until after he had boarded a plane leaving New Zealand, a police spokesman said.
Two men had to be flown to Dunedin Hospital, one with life-threatening injuries, after a brawl on Queenstown's Camp Street on Sunday morning.
Both were in a stable condition on today.
