The man who allegedly went on a stabbing rampage in a Dunedin supermarket will keep his

Emergency services vehicles swiftly flooded the scene and the victims were rushed to the nearby hospital where they remained today.
Three were in a serious but stable state, while one was in a moderate condition.
The defendant, who was also briefly hospitalised before being discharged last night, appeared in the dock wearing a white cover-all garment, bare-footed with a white plaster on his right forearm.
He stood with his head bowed in the dock only looking up when the judge addressed him.
Counsel John Westgate entered no plea on behalf of his client and asked for name suppression to be granted until the next appearance
before the High Court in June.Judge Peter Rollo granted the order and
remanded the man in custody until that date.
He confirmed there was no formal mental-health assessment sought.
