Auckland, New Zealand – Authorities apprehended a man following a vicious attack involving a “zombie” knife in Auckland. The incident unfolded on Portage Rd, New Lynn, at approximately 4:30 pm last Thursday, prompting emergency responders to rush to the scene where they discovered a woman gravely injured.
Waitematā CIB Detective Senior Sergeant Adam Lough revealed that the victim was situated inside a vehicle at the time of the alleged assault. According to Lough, the male suspect purportedly sought to reclaim a stolen vehicle but resorted to the misguided approach of wielding a knife, resulting in a severe injury to the woman.
The utilization of such a weapon in what appears to be a misguided attempt at vehicle recovery has drawn condemnation from law enforcement. The suspect’s actions have not only led to the infliction of a serious injury but have also escalated the situation unnecessarily.
Authorities have taken swift action in detaining the individual responsible for the violent incident involving the “zombie” knife. The victim, meanwhile, is receiving medical attention as the investigation into the motivations behind the attack continues.
Senior Sergeant Lough emphasized the seriousness of the offense, asserting that carrying such a weapon and causing harm in the process is unacceptable. The community is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
