Man charged after stabbing
A man has been charged following a stabbing incident in Ashburton.
Three people ended up in hospital with serious injuries following the William St incident last weekend.
Detective Sergeant Colin Welsh of the Ashburton CIB said in the early hours of May 26, police located two injured people in a vehicle on William Street, with a third transported to hospital by a friend.
"Over the course of this week police have spoken with witnesses, conducted scene examinations, and seized items of interest as we work to piece together what occurred."
The three men have since been discharged from Christchurch Hospital after they were allegedly injured in an altercation between themselves.
A 32-year-old man is facing one charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and one charge of assault. He is due to appear before the Ashburton District Court today.
"Enquiries remain ongoing including speaking to witnesses, and further charges are being considered."
