Police examine Dunedin Central Countdown a day after a knife-wielding man seriously injured four people.
Survivors of a knife attack in a Dunedin supermarket have a long road ahead in their recovery, police said, as the man allegedly responsible was remanded in custody after being charged with four counts of attempted murder.
Two police officers, one of whom was off duty, were among staff and bystanders at Countdown on Cumberland St who helped subdue a man who stabbed staff and shoppers on Monday.
“The actions of those two officers helped to de-escalate the situation and minimise any further harm,” Southern District Commander Superintendent Paul Basham said on Tuesday.
