A 46-year-old woman has been charged following a stabbing incident in Christchurch last night, which left a taxi driver critically injured.
At approximately 10:30 p.m., the driver arrived at a fast food restaurant on Memorial Avenue seeking help after being stabbed multiple times. Detective Senior Sergeant Colin Baillie confirmed that the victim was initially in critical condition but is now stable and recovering in the hospital.
Police apprehended the alleged attacker 15 minutes later at a nearby hotel.
Overnight cordons were put in place, and police are continuing their investigations. Authorities have assured the public that there is no ongoing risk, and they are not seeking any further suspects.
The Auckland woman has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and is set to appear in the Christchurch District Court today.
Anyone with information relevant to the investigation is urged to contact police via the reference number 241011/2985 or by calling 105.

Absolutely appalling disgusting and brutish beastly behavior
Whoever did this needs a gun put up to their head and theirs brains blown out
It is a bad egg and will never be any good
Save on trails food and lodgings now
Corruption does not take on incorruption
Incorruption does not take on corruption
How do You want to put it
Yes it’s appalling behavior when someone is just doing a job driving people to get to their destinations.
A harsh penalty is required in order to stop this kind of violence.
He is a very lucky man as he could easily have been killed. As others have been in the past.
The foundation of society is honesty
Which unfortunately appears to be in limited supply
There are some very nasty pieces of shit out there
With things not about to get much better anytime soon
