A man has been arrested after two alleged assaults in Hawke’s Bay left one in a critical condition and another suffering stab wounds yesterday morning. <\/p>\n
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Phil Sayer said Flaxmere police were called at around 8.40am after a person was taken to hospital following an assault on Kirkwood Road. <\/p>\n
“They remain in hospital in a critical condition.” <\/p>\n
Shortly after, a person suffered stab wounds in a second alleged attack on Palgrave Ave. They were not seriously injured. <\/p>\n
“Police believe the same person was responsible for both incidents.” <\/p>\n
A man was found on Liverpool Crescent and taken into custody just after 10am. <\/p>\n
The 38-year-old was due to appear in the Hastings District Court today, charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and wounding with intent to injure.<\/p>\n
“Enquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances of both assaults, however police are not seeking anyone else in relation to these incidents at this time,” Sayer said. <\/p>\n
“We want to reassure the community that there is no ongoing risk following these incidents.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested after two alleged assaults in Hawke’s Bay left one in a critical condition…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":579296,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[67,20277,111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-579295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-crime-and-justice","tag-hawke-s-bay","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=579295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/579296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=579295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=579295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=579295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
