Police want to speak with this Mongrel Mob gang member who they believe is responsible for an unprovoked attack on a young rugby player in central Christchurch.
Promising rugby player Leni Taufateau was out with friends in Christchurch early on Sunday morning when he was knocked unconscious in an unprovoked attack by a Mongrel Mob member in front of dozens of onlookers. Now, the 19-year-old is fighting for his life in hospital, his rugby future hanging in the balance. Taufateau, who moved to Christchurch from Tonga on a rugby scholarship at St Thomas of Canterbury College, had spent the day playing at a rugby league tournament before going to a prize-giving and on to a friend’s 21st birthday.
