Renewed concerns about safety in the Wellington region

Police responded to reports of an assault at Queensgate Shopping mall in Lower Hutt yesterday, where two youths were arrested.

It comes after Shane Sharma says he was randomly attacked while waiting for an Uber on Courtenay Place, early on Saturday morning.

Police are following up but Sharma's concerned the offender won't be caught.

He says it scares him the person could do the same thing to someone else.

Police are also appealing for more information after an unprovoked stabbing on Taranaki Street last month.
