Police were quickly on the heels of an alleged offender following an assault in central Auckland this morning.
A man is recovering in hospital with moderate injuries, while a man will have his day in the Auckland District Court.

“We received reports a male had suffered several wounds to his arm and was being pursued by another male,” she says.
“Quick work by a Police Camera Operator located the offender a short distance away and he was taken into custody.”
Detective Senior Sergeant Kirk says the victim was transported to Auckland City Hospital with moderate injuries.
“We do not believe this to be a random event, but I would like to acknowledge all the staff involved in making the arrest this morning.”
