Teen charged over Hobart waterfront assault that left young man seriously injured

A teenager has been charged in connection with a “deliberate” attack on a Hobart waterfront that left a young man seriously injured.

Police and emergency services were called to the incident on Morrison Street near Salamanca just after 11pm on Saturday.

A 17-year-old boy accused of assault was arrested earlier this week and charged with assault under the Criminal Code.

Police say the incident involved people who knew each other.

Police said the injured 18-year-old suffered “serious but non-life-threatening injuries.”

The alleged offender was released on bail to appear in the Youth Justice Department of the Hobart District Court at a later date.

Police are asking anyone with footage or information in relation to this incident to contact them on 131 444 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers.

They are particularly interested in information about an orange SUV that was seen in the area at the time.
