A 17 year-old Korean student will appear in the Auckland District Court tomorrow charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm after being arrested in Blockhouse Bay an hour after a teacher at Avondale College was stabbed in his classroom this morning.
Police have completed the scene examination of a classroom where the attack on a 49 year-old teacher is alleged to have happened while up to 20 other students were present.
The alleged victim is due to be discharged from Auckland Hospital this evening.
