A man's been arrested after a woman was stabbed in the Christchurch suburb of St Martins yesterday. 

Police were called to Gamblins Road yesterday morning to reports of a disorder incident. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Nicola Reeves says a 22-year-old man has been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. 

He's due to appear in the Christchurch District Court this afternoon.

The woman was taken to hospital after the incident, and remains in a serious but stable condition.

Police last night said the injuries are not life-threatening.
