A teenager was last night fighting for his life after he was attacked in a central Christchurch car park, and the offender remains on the run. Emergency services were called to Countdown car park on Moorhouse Ave, Sydenham, about 2am yesterday, after the victim, understood to be aged in his late teens, was found with serious injuries. The victim was taken to Christchurch Hospital in a critical condition, Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Johnson said. It was unclear whether the victim knew his attacker.
