A 36-year-old man has been remanded in custody after appearing in Auckland District Court charged with murder and wounding with intent following an unprovoked stabbing on a Glen Innes bus that left a 59-year-old man dead and another seriously injured.

Arrested in the Auckland CBD on Tuesday, the accused was granted interim name suppression and will reappear in the High Court in January.

Police have launched a homicide investigation and confirmed both victims were travelling on the 76 bus from Glen Innes to Ōrākei when the attack occurred.
