Please attribute to Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Thompson:
A 42-year-old Palmerston North man has been arrested and charged in relation to a serious assault in Cloverlea last month.
A man was found at a Cecil Place address with critical injuries on 1 March 2025 and continues to recover in hospital.
The 42-year-old has been charged with Wounding with Intent to Cause Grievous Bodily Harm and will appear in court today.
He was arrested at 2pm yesterday in the Roslyn area.
Over the past few weeks, a huge effort has gone into locating this man with several addresses searched.
It is great that yesterday’s coordinated response and arrest means we can put him before the courts.
