A man was taken to hospital after a knife was pulled during a heated argument in north Dunedin.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police responded to reports of an assault on Park St at 9.45pm yesterday.
A 20-year-old male was taken to hospital with lacerations to his thumb after an exchange of words between two men escalated.
‘‘Some words were exchanged between the two . . . the other male pulled a knife during the altercation,’’ Snr Sgnt Bond said.
‘‘[We] still haven't got a statement from anyone yet because [the 20-year-old] was intoxicated and needed medical attention.
‘‘We're making inquiries to locate who the other person is.’’
