A man has been arrested following an incident in Ashburton earlier this week that resulted in three people being hospitalised with serious injuries.
Detective Sergeant Colin Welsh said police located two injured people in a vehicle on William St at around 2am on May 26.
He said police were at the time attending "a separate job on the same street".
A third person, who was also seriously injured, was taken to hospital by a friend.
Welsh said police have spoken with witnesses, conducted scene examinations and seized items of interest.
"The three men have since been discharged from Christchurch Hospital after they were allegedly injured in an altercation between themselves.
"Inquiries remain ongoing including speaking to witnesses, and further charges are being considered."
A 32-year-old man is facing one charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and one charge of assault.
He is due to appear before the Ashburton District Court today.
