Police have arrested and charged a woman after a stabbing in a Northland street.
A resident of a Northland street where a man was allegedly stabbed in the chest says she was shocked to hear a violent incident had happened in what is usually a "good little street".
Police were called to an address in Long St, Awanui, at about 12.20am on Saturday morning
where a man was in a serious condition after suffering stab wounds to his chest.
The 35-year-old victim was airlifted to Whangarei Hospital at about 6am that morning after being first taken to Kaitaia Hospital, police said.
A resident said Long St was usually quiet and she was shocked to hear "quite nice" neighbours had been involved in the alleged stabbing.
"It's a good little street, we don't have any hassles.
