A 22-year-old man has been arrested after an alleged early morning stabbing in central Christchurch.

Two people were left seriously injured in what police called a “serious assault” on Hereford St just after 4am on Sunday.

A man is due to appear at Christchurch District Court today, charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

A police spokesperson earlier said: “Initial indications suggest those involved are known to each other.”

Two people were taken to hospital after the incident.
