A teenager has been charged in relation to a violent central Christchurch assault.
Christchurch Metro CIB Detective Sergeant Ben Rolton said officers were called to Worcester St, between Latimer Square and Barbadoes St, about 10pm on Thursday after reports a person had sustained wounds consistent with being stabbed.
“This morning police spoke with a 19-year-old man in relation to the incident,” Rolton said.
“He has now been charged with injuring with intent to injure, and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.”
The woman was taken to Christchurch Hospital by ambulance and underwent surgery. She remains in hospital in a stable condition.
The man appeared in Christchurch District Court today.
Police thanked members of the public who came forward with information and provided CCTV footage for officers to review.
