Armed police have been on the streets of central Auckland.
Multiple callers to the Herald reported seeing officers armed with guns in the Lorne St/Albert Park area.
One said they saw armed officers talk to a couple of girls outside the Precinct on Lorne apartments on Lorne St then enter the building.
On Facebook, police have said armed police responded to reports of an assault allegedly involving firearms.
"It seems the incident is the result of a dispute over some personal items. Two people report that they have been injured, not seriously."
The post said police are trying to find other people connected to the incident who may have left the area
"It is unclear whether the reports they were armed were correct."
Police were expected to leave the area shortly.
