A second man has appeared in court in relation to a violent brawl in south Auckland at the weekend which left a man fighting for his life in hospital.
The 21-year-old, who can not be identified, is charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm after the incident at a Rollerson St address on Saturday night.
He was denied bail when he appeared before a Justice of the Peace in Papakura District Court today and will appear again early next year.
Another man, who can be named as 21-year-old Royce Grace, faces a charge of causing grievous bodily harm to the 30-year-old victim, who today remained in a serious but stable condition in Auckland Hospital, a hospital spokesman said.
Police were alerted to the incident after reports of people fighting outside a house party and using knives, sticks and rocks as weapons.
