A Wellington man was taken to hospital last night after his partner bit off his finger during a domestic dispute.
Police were called to a house in the suburb of Johnsonville, where they arrested the woman. She will face an assault charge.
The man was taken to hospital, but police were not sure if the finger had been successfully reattached.
Meanwhile, the armed offenders squad were called to the Wellington suburb of Houghton Bay about 10 pm yesterday, after a man verbally threatened to attack his neighbour with a firearm.
About 20 partygoers were cleared from the house, which was then searched for weapons. None was found.
Police spoke to a man but have not laid any charges.
