Photo / FileWellington police are seeking witnesses to a serious assault in the CBD overnight. Police were alerted to two groups of people fighting in the middle of Courtney Place outside McDonald's around 2.45am. A man died last week after spending four days in hospital following a serious assault in central Wellington. Wellington police told the Herald last week they were aware some areas of Wellington CBD, particularly Courtenay Place, were over-represented for disorder and assault, much of which occurred during weekend hours and was fuelled by excess alcohol. • Information on the Courtney Place incident can be passed on by contacting the Wellington Crime Squad on 04 381 2077.
