A man and woman have been arrested following the kidnapping and stabbing of a Hawkes Bay man who was found dazed and confused near the Kaweka Forest Park on Wednesday afternoon.
Yesterday, as the 36-year-old victim underwent surgery to repair his stabbed hand, police raided a Napier address, where they found a firearm and property from the man's home and two cars allegedly used in the kidnapping.
Police said several people from the Napier address were taken into custody, including an 18-year-old man who was charged in relation to the kidnapping.
Police located a female on Wednesday and have charged her with kidnapping.
