A 21-year-old male was taken to Lakes District Hospital with
wounds to his torso and legs after the incident but was later
released.

a broken light bulb from a lamp in the hotel room in which he
was staying.
The man has been held in police care and will be remanded on
bail until his appearance at the Queenstown District Court on
Monday.
The men are both Saudi Arabians visiting on student visas.
They reside in Christchurch where they both attend an English
language school.
