There is a large police presence at a medical incident in Christchurch this afternoon.
Emergency services responded to an incident on Barrington St, Spreydon, at about 3pm. About four detectives arrived on the scene half an hour later.
The Herald understands the incident involved a child. Kainga Ora, which owns the property, said media “will need to contact police”.
Officers were seen speaking with a man on the street who appeared stressed and agitated. The man was pacing on the footpath and then sitting against a fence as police spoke to him.
