A man has been charged with murder following an incident in Christchurch.

Police say the victim, in his 40s, was involved in an altercation at a Wainui St property in Riccarton just before 9pm on Saturday.

They say he suffered stab wounds and was found on Clarence St a short time later, before he died.

A 31-year-old man has been charged with murder and a 38-year-old man has been charged with assault.
