A woman has been arrested after allegedly stabbing a taxi driver in Christchurch last night.
The driver went to a fast food restaurant on Memorial Avenue at about 10.30pm to find help after being stabbed several times.
They suffered critical injuries and were taken to hospital, where they remain in a serious but stable condition.
Police arrested a 46-year-old woman in a nearby hotel 15-minutes later.
She has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and is expected to appear in the Christchurch District Court Friday.
Detective Senior Sergeant Colin Baillie said police weren't seeking anyone else, and did not believe there's an ongoing risk to the public.
