Police have charged a 19-year-old in relation to an alleged serious assault in Tauranga that left a man in critical condition.
Police earlier said a 22-year-old man was taken to Tauranga Hospital by a friend at about 9pm on Sunday, and later transferred to Waikato Hospital in a critical condition.
This afternoon a police spokeswoman said a 19-year-old man has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He was due to appear in the Tauranga District Court tomorrow.
Police are still investigating exactly what happened, the spokeswoman said.
Anyone with any information was urged to call or visit their nearest police station.
