A man has been flown to hospital following a water incident in Mount Maunganui.
A police spokesman said they were called to the beach, opposite the intersection of Pacific Ave and Marine Parade, around 7.30pm Wednesday.
“It appears that a male was flown to hospital with suspected spinal injuries,” the spokesman said.
However, a St John spokesman said they responded with one ambulance, one rapid response vehicle and one operations manager and said one patient was taken to Tauranga Hospital via ambulance in a moderate condition.
