A nine-month-old Hastings girl is in hospital after being seriously injured in an "altercation" between her parents.

Senior Sergeant Luke Shadbolt said the girl was in a serious but stable condition in Hawke's Bay Regional Hospital after the early morning incident in suburban Flaxmere.

She was injured "as a result of an altercation between her parents", he said.

Hastings police were investigating and would release no further details.
