As put by Detective Sergeant Shelley Ross:
A man has been arrested following an assault at a Palmerston North Park this afternoon, Wednesday 29 January.
About 1pm, Police responded to a park on Dogwood Way following reports one person had received injuries consistent with a stab wound following an unprovoked assault.
One person was transported to Palmerston North Hospital in a serious condition where they are receiving medical treatment.
Police would like to thank the members of the public who were delayed while Police responded to the incident.
A 25-year-old man is due to appear in the Palmerston North District Court tomorrow, Thursday 29 January, on charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
This was a callous and unprovoked attack which we will not tolerate in our community.
