Two people were injured in South Auckland on Saturday afternoon, with one person in critical condition and another with moderate injuries. Hato Hone St John was notified of an incident on Harwell Place in Māngere at approximately 12.33pm. The emergency service responded with two ambulances, two rapid response units, and one operations manager.
Police have cordoned off a property and blocked Harwell Place while forensic teams investigate. Armed officers were seen guarding the Māngere Community Health Centre on Waddon Place. One injured person was treated at the medical centre before being transported to hospital.
A black Subaru with a hole in the boot was observed parked outside the health clinic. While one person was critically injured, it is believed the moderate injuries sustained by the second person occurred separately from the incident on Harwell Place.
Police remain in the Māngere area as they work to determine the exact circumstances of the incident.
