A man has been charged with assault after a man died after getting into a fight in Porirua on Thursday evening.
Police launched a homicide inquiry. Officers were called to Te Rauparaha Park at 5:40pm, where the man died at the scene.
A woman told Stuff she saw the man and his younger brother half-an-hour before the incident. When she came out of the nearby supermarket, she saw police officers on Jellicoe St, standing alongside the younger brother.
"When I asked him what happened, he said 'my brother got stabbed," she told Stuff.
A police spokesperson told Newshub they could not confirm this, only that it was a serious assault.
Police would still like to hear from witnesses or anyone who can help the investigation.
