A woman was stabbed and boy taken from an address on Ngati Maru Highway yesterday.

A man has been charged with attempted murder following an alleged stabbing in Thames yesterday.

For a short time last night police were hunting 36-year-old Arana Barlow, after a woman suffered critical injuries following a stabbing on Ngati Maru highway about 4pm.

A 2-year-old boy was missing from the home and police began a hunt for Barlow, 36.

Police said at the time they had extreme concerns for the child.

He was caught in Kelston, a suburb in west Auckland, shortly after 9pm.
