Auckland City Police are seeking witnesses to a violent assault in Myers Park during Labour Weekend.
A man has been charged and remanded in custody over the serious assault on 25 October.
Detective Sergeant John de Heer, of Auckland City CIB, is calling for one particular witness to the violent events to come forward.
“Through the course of the investigation we have obtained CCTV footage, which shows a man talking with the offender just prior to the stabbing occurring,” he says.
“The man had two children with him at the time, one of which was in a pram. He was present when the offending began but left a short time afterward.”
Police are keen to speak with this witness to assist with the investigation.
He was wearing blue jeans and maroon and blue sweatshirt.
“If this is you, Police would like to hear from you. We are not seeking anyone else in connection with the investigation, but the information will assist us in preparing court proceedings,” Detective Sergeant de Heer says.
Anyone with information can contact Police on 105 or go online and use the reference number 261025/2283.
ENDS.
