From Midday Report, 12:11 pm on 20 June 2023

Police say they don't believe an axe attack on people in three North Shore Chinese restaurants last night was racially motivated. Two people remain in hospital following the attack, one with serious injuries.

A 24-year-old man, who police have identified as a Chinese national, was arrested at the scene.
