Waitemata Police on Tuesday, July 11 has arrested and charged a 14-year-old male with aggravated robbery following a violent assault on a pizza delivery worker on Sunday evening, July 09.
The youth will appear in the Waitakere Youth Court Tuesday, July 18.
Police is making further enquiries and cannot rule out the possibility of further charges being laid. The 47-year-old victim remains in North Shore Hospital in a stable condition.
The 47-year-old pizza delivery worker was assaulted on his way to an address in Kelman Road, Kelston to deliver an order on Sunday, July 9.
At around 6:30 p.m. the victim parked his vehicle, and as he was getting the pizza out of his boot he was struck by an unknown object to the back of his head. The victim lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
He was found about 15 minutes later by a member of the public with a serious head injury. The offender or offenders took off with $20 and the pizza.
Police and Ambulance were called, and the victim was taken to Waitakere Hospital but was later transferred to Auckland Hospital.
“Police staff is absolutely disgusted by this offending. An innocent member of our community was just doing his job when he was struck over the head and left there unconscious. This could have been far more serious had a member of the public not found the victim and called for help.
People have a right to go to work and do their job safely without being violently assaulted. It is simply not good enough, and the Waitakere community will not accept it” Detective Sergeant Farrant added.
