Police are asking for information after an assault in the Hastings suburb of Flaxmere early yesterday morning

10 October 2021

A man was assaulted shortly after 5 near Chatham Park and received three stab wounds to his back and one to his neck.

The man says he was walking home from a night club and isn't sure where the attacker came from.

He says he didn't initially realise he had been stabbed.

The offender is described as a skinny man in his early 20s, 182cm tall with short hair and wearing a light coloured top.

Police want to speak to anyone in the Chatham Road area at the time - particularly between Margate Ave and Omahu Road.
