The police in Solomon Islands say a man attacked two naval officers from New Zealand because one of them was dancing with his ex‑wife.

The attack happened two weeks ago at the Heritage Hotel Night Club in Honiara following commemorations for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Guadalcanal.

The Solomon Star reported one of the officers and the man's ex‑wife suffered injuries.

On the weekend, police arrested Solokai Halea Junior at Henderson Airport as he returned from Brisbane, and charged him with assault and unlawful wounding.

He appeared in the Honiara Magistrates Court last week and was remanded in custody until his next court appearance at the end of the month.
