Manukau shopping mall pedestrians injured: More charges laid against alleged driver

Five pedestrians were injured at Westfield Manukau in South Auckland on Sunday afternoon.

The woman arrested after five pedestrians were injured at an Auckland shopping mall has been declined bail for the second time and remains in custody.

The woman, who has name suppression, was initially charged with one count of reckless driving causing injury.

Today, an additional four reckless driving charges were laid, plus a charge of engaging in family violence when a protection order is in place.

The shaken woman appeared via AVL this afternoon at Manukau District Court.

Bail was declined and she was remanded in custody for three weeks. An interim name suppression order was continued but will be reassessed at her next appearance.
