Four people were arrested after a man was stabbed and seriously injured in Christchurch.
A police spokeswoman said officers were called to an address on Hei Hei Rd around 12:25 p.m., following a report of an assault. Later, police said they called a man who had been found with stab wounds.
A spokesperson for St John said the person was seriously injured.
On Friday night, police said the man was stable.
Three men, ages 44, 23 and 19, along with a 40-year-old woman, are due to appear in Christchurch District Court on Saturday.
Police were not looking for anyone else, but asked to hear from everyone who witnessed the stabbing.
Earlier on Friday, a staff member at St Bernadette’s School on Hei Hei Rd confirmed that the school was closed but declined to comment further.
