A 65-year-old man has appeared in court over a serious stabbing in Auckland’s CBD on Friday night.
The assault took place in an area in front of the Central City library and left one person with critical injuries and another seriously injured.
Detective Senior Sergeant Ash Matthews had said emergency crews were called to Lorne Street about 10.20pm where a knife had been recovered and the man was arrested by responding staff.
The man was facing two charges of causing grievous bodily harm.
He appeared at the Auckland District Court in a blue boiler suit shortly after midday on Saturday. No pleas were entered and the man was remanded in custody.
He was granted interim name suppression.
