Christchurch Police investigating a violent assault in the CBD are appealing for information from the public to assist in identifying the person pictured as police believe they can assist in enquiries.

On Thursday 19 March, Police were called to Worcester Street at around 10pm following reports of a person received injuries consistent with being stabbed.

Detective Sergeant Ben Rolton says the victim was transported to hospital in a serious condition and remains in hospital in a stable condition.

“We are now working to identify the person pictured as we believe they were in the area at the time of the incident and have information that can assist our investigation.”

“If you have any footage, no matter how small or irrelevant you may think, it may be the final piece of the puzzle we need for our enquiries.

“If you have not yet spoken with us, please get in touch,” says Detective Sergeant Rolton.

  1. Just can’t go anywhere these days & worse still they’re breeding. Welcome to third world NZ where we are now on par with Africa

    • Nz – second world country.

      Where we wait weeks for doctor and dentist appointments, dole bludgers get new houses and our kids jobs are being taken by Indians.

      This loser probably gets more on his benefit than I get in my job.
