A 39-year-old woman has been arrested after an assault police allege was a "hate-motivated crime" on an Auckland bus last month.
The assault took place on a bus travelling from Howick towards Auckland City along Pakuranga Rd on June 28.
One person received serious injuries.
The New Zealand Herald reports that a 16-year-old boy received facial injuries and lost some teeth in the attack.
"Police will allege this was a hate-motivated crime," Acting Detective Senior Sergeant James Mapp said.
He said a search warrant was executed at a property in Pakuranga this morning.
The woman has been charged with wounding with intent to wound.
She is due to appear in the Manukau District Court on July 9.
