A man accused of stabbing two passengers on an East Auckland bus, killing one of them, is due to appear in court.
A homicide investigation was launched after a 59-year-old man died from a fatal knife wound to his torso, and a 41-year-old man was seriously injured.
A 36-year-old was arrested in the Auckland CBD on Tuesday and is due to appear in the Auckland District Court on Wednesday.
Both passengers had travelled on the 76 bus going from Glen Innes to Ōrakei on Monday evening.
Police earlier said the attacks appeared to be unprovoked.
