A man has been arrested over a fatal bus stabbing in Auckland’s Glenn Innes on Monday night.
Two separate investigations were launched after a 59-year-old was stabbed on a bus travelling from Glenn Innes towards Ōrakei in East Auckland.
Another man, 51, was seriously injured after boarding the same bus.
Police had earlier said they were looking for 36-year-old Adrian Pani.
“Information was received from the public, subsequent to our earlier appeal today, which indicated our suspect was in the CBD this afternoon,” Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin said.
“Our team developed further information that was received, which pinpointed an area of interest within the Auckland CBD.
“Police staff flooded the lower downtown area, quickly gaining observations of the man.
“He was quickly and safely taken into custody at the corner of Commerce and Fort Streets.”
