A man who allegedly assaulted a store worker, despite being given a free kebab, is now off the streets.
At about 9.45pm on 26 October, a man entered a Henderson eatery on Rathgar Road and proceeded to intimidate a shop worker.
Detective Senior Sergeant Ryan Bunting, Waitematā CIB, says the worker offered the man a free kebab in an attempt to keep the peace.
“The alleged offender took the kebab, and walked round the front of the counter and assaulted him.
“The victim was also forced to hand over cash from the till before being assaulted again.”
Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says CCTV assisted investigators in locating the person believed to be responsible.
“Earlier this week, officers attended a Henderson addresses where a 30-year-old man was taken into custody.
“This type of unnecessary violence puts people at serious risk of harm and we are focused on finding those involved and holding them to account.”
The man has been remanded in custody and will reappear in Waitākere District Court on 4 December charged with robbery by assault.
