Three people have serious injuries after what police believe is an “altercation involving neighbours” in a South Auckland street.
The incident occurred on Kutukutu Street in Takanini this evening.
Police were called to the street at 7.50pm.
The three victims have been transported to hospital with serious injuries.
The person believed to be responsible left the scene in a car and was located by the Police Eagle helicopter on Takanini School Road a short time later.
He has been taken into police custody.
Cordons are in place on Kutukutu Street and residents are asked to follow the instructions of police staff in the area.
Nearby business owner Kamal Singh claimed three people were stabbed and had small children with them, but he did not know how the incident started.
“I saw one small kid sitting in an ambulance with them, they were crying,” Singh told the Herald.
