Police are seeking footage of a stabbing at a market in Auckland last weekend.

A 23-year-old man was arrested following the assault at the Pakuranga Night Markets on Saturday evening.

He was due to reappear in court in July.

Police said a number of people filmed the assault, and they were asking them to give officers the footage.

"While we are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident, this footage will be beneficial as part of the prosecution phase," Detective Senior Sergeant Dean Batey said.

Two people were hospitalised in the attack.
