A young man was taken to hospital after another serious assault in downtown Auckland just a few streets from where a man was fatally attacked last week.
The latest assault happened about 3 am yesterday. Witnesses told police that a man was attacked by two others near a backpackers hostel in Fort St.
Police said the man was punched in the face and kicked in the head while on the ground after coming to the aid of another person trying to eject the two men from the hostel.
The man was taken to Auckland Hospital with head and chest injuries, but was later discharged. Two men were arrested for the attack after being caught by surveillance cameras. They appeared in the Auckland District Court yesterday charged with assault.
