Another person was stabbed in Queenstown yesterday, in the fourth violent assault in the resort in less than a fortnight.
The 16-year-old youth was stabbed in the chest, during a fight in Rees St, in central Queenstown, about 5.15pm.
Sergeant Cameron Sigley, of Queenstown, said the weapon wasa small kitchen knife, about 15cm long.
The wound was classed as "moderate and not life-threatening".
A 17-year-old Queenstown youth was arrested soon after and charged with wounding with reckless disregard. He will appear in the Queenstown District Court today.
