“We have also been speaking with a number of people present at the Smedley Street address at the time as part of our enquiries.”

The 45-year-old has been charged in relation to assault and is due to appear in the Manukau District Court today.
“However, our investigation is still ongoing and for that reason Police cannot rule out further charges being laid at this stage,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Alexander.
