A man has been arrested and charged after an alleged assault on a train in Auckland which left one person injured.<\/p>\n
Police were called to reports of disorderly behaviour on a train near Mt Albert Station about midday yesterday.<\/p>\n
Detective Senior Sergeant Rebecca Kirk said one person was reported to have sustained injuries during the incident.<\/p>\n
“Inquiries are ongoing to understand the circumstances of the disorder but there is not believed to be any threat to public safety,” she said. <\/p>\n
A 39-year-old man was taken into custody and charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.<\/p>\n
He was due to appear in the Auckland District Court today. <\/p>\n
The incident caused initial delays across the East West and Onehunga West lines. <\/p>\n
In a statement, Auckland Transport said it was concerned to hear about the incident.<\/p>\n
“Every single person who travels on AT\u2019s bus, train and ferry services deserves to travel safely,” the agency said.<\/p>\n
“Aucklanders take more than 1.8 million trips on public transport each week and incidents like these are rare and a reflection of broader society, but are totally unacceptable to our team at AT and the communities we serve.” <\/p>\n
Auckland Transport said it would support emergency services as they investigated the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested and charged after an alleged assault on a train in Auckland which left…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":641436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[51,67,42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-641435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-auckland","tag-crime-and-justice","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641435","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=641435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
