The alleged assaults took place at residential addresses in the suburb of Camberley on Thursday and on Saturday night.

One person was treated at hospital and is now recovering at home while another person suffered serious injuries and is undergoing surgery due.

Both victims were taken to the Hawkes Bay Regional Hospital.

“Police would like to reassure the Hastings community that we are not seeking anyone else in relation to these incidents, and there are no ongoing concerns for the safety of the wider community as a result,” Detective Senior Sergeant Sally Patrick of Eastern District Police said.

The 21-year-old man will face two charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, in the Hastings District Court on Monday.
