Christchurch Police investigating a violent assault in the CBD are appealing for information from the public to assist in identifying the person pictured as we believe they can assist in our enquiries.
On Thursday 19 March, Police were called to Worcester Street at around 10pm following reports of a person received injuries consistent with being stabbed.
Detective Sergeant Ben Rolton says the victim was transported to hospital in a serious condition and remains in hospital in a stable condition.
“We are now working to identify the person pictured as we believe they were in the area at the time of the incident and have information that can assist our investigation.”
Police are also appealing for any CCTV or dash-cam footage in the Latimer Square area and the Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester, Armagh, and Barbadoes Streets between 9.30pm and 10.30pm on Thursday.
“If you have any footage, no matter how small or irrelevant you may think, it may be the final piece of the puzzle we need for our enquiries.
“If you have not yet spoken with us, please get in touch,” says Detective Sergeant Rolton.
Any information, CCTV, or dashcam footage that may assist our enquiries can be provided to us online at 105.police.govt.nz, or call 105.
