A man is on the run in Christchurch after a passenger in another car was stabbed in an apparent road rage attack.
Police have not yet confirmed what caused the stabbing, but the Herald understands the man didn’t like the loud music playing from the victim’s car.

“A man remains in Christchurch Hospital in a critical condition after being stabbed in Riccarton yesterday evening,” he said.

The incident was at the Clarence St and Blenheim Rd intersection outside a car wash business, about 5.40pm.
Two cars had stopped at red lights on Clarence St when a man got out of his vehicle and attacked the victim who was inside a red car.
The offender then fled north on Clarence St towards Riccarton Rd.
Police investigating the attack do not believe the people knew each other.
