A Hastings dairy owner and his son were stabbed on Thursday<\/a>, when a man allegedly tried to leave their shop without paying for a pie.<\/p>\n

Hato Hone St John transported the pair to Hawke’s Bay Fallen Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital at about 3pm, following the attack in the suburb of Camberley.<\/p>\n

Police also responded to the incident and cordoned off the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

The son, Rohan Patel told RNZ he was “alright”, picking up the phone at Kiwi Street Food Market in Camberley after returning from hospital this morning.<\/p>\n

“He was eating a pie and didn’t pay for it, and Dad went over to him. I came out after him.”<\/p>\n

After returning from hospital this morning, Rohan said he was “a little bit in pain but resting up”.<\/p>\n

He said he was very busy, with lots of visitors coming by the shop.<\/p>\n

A 22-year-old man has been charged with two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, shoplifting, and resists police.<\/p>\n

The man was due to appear in the Hastings District Court today.<\/p>\n

Police declined to confirm what weapon was used in the stabbing.<\/p>\n

Hastings Deputy Mayor Michael Fowler on Thursday said he was aware of the incident.<\/p>\n

“We obviously feel terrible for the victims and their families,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The police are looking after the situation and Hastings District Council will give any support to the police should they ask for it.”<\/p>\n
