Police are still looking for a man in connection with a stabbing in Levin on Thursday morning.

A Foxton man, 34, has abdominal injuries as a result of the attack at a house south of the town.

He twice underwent surgery at Palmerston North hospital, where he is in a stable condition in intensive care.

A Levin woman has appeared in court on an assault charge, but police say they still have not found a second man who is wanted.

Detective Sergeant Sarn Paroli believes this man was at the house at the time of the attack.

He expects it will be several days before the victim is well enough to speak to investigators.
