The man was charged with dangerous driving causing injury, and possession of an offensive weapon after the incident in January this year. The 31-year-old appeared in the Wellington District Court this morning and pleaded guilty to the charges. Armed with a knife, the man then climbed onto the pipes above the tunnel and stayed there for the next 10 hours. At the time of the incident, Wellington District Commander Inspector Chris Bensemann said the number one priority during the incident was ensuring the safety of officers, the public and the people involved.
