In Christchurch, two people have been charged over the stabbing of a man on Monday, while walking his dog.

An 18-year-old man has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and a 23-year-old woman has been charged as being an accessory after the fact.

Detective Inspector Nicola Reeves says the man will appear in Christchurch District Court today, and the woman at a later date.

The pair were arrested at two houses in Corhampton Street which is not far from Bexley park, where the attack happened.

The properties have been guarded overnight.
