A group of inmates are stonewalling a police investigation into a near-fatal stabbing at Paremoremo Prison.
Police said in a release today seven prisoners were refusing to speak with officers about the fight, which broke out just before 10.30am yesterday.
One man was taken to Auckland hospital in a serious condition, and two other prisoners were treated for minor injuries from incident.
The man was in surgery last night, and is expected to make a full recovery.
"At this stage the four offenders and three victims are refusing to speak with police," North Shore detective James Bolton said.
