A teenaged male was taken to Hawke's Bay Hospital with possible serious injuries after a workplace incident in Napier today.

St John Ambulance crews were called to the woolstores site off Pandora Road about 11.15am.

A Greenlea Taupo helicopter, stationed in Hastings while a Hawke's Bay helicopter is out of the region for servicing, landed on the sealed carpark fronting the road, with three flight and medical crew.

It flew-out about 11.50am, without a patient, but it was confirmed soon afterwards an injured man was being taken to hospital in Hastings by ambulance.

A Hawke's Bay District Health Board spokesperson said the teen was in a serious but stable condition.
