Two people have been arrested and charged following a violent assault outside a Pukekohe supermarket last week.

At about 12.30pm on 19 September, the victim and his family were in a supermarket carpark when two people approached him.

Counties Manukau South Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Matt Hoyes, says the two alleged offenders then assaulted the man in an unprovoked attack.

“These alleged offenders have viciously attacked this man in broad daylight, punching him and kicking him while he was on the ground.”
