A woman was found bloodied and unconscious yesterday after spending the night locked in an Auckland bar, where glasses and a large mirrored wall had been smashed.
Emergency services responded to a fire alarm at the Desi Lounge in Karangahape Rd about 12.30pm yesterday.
Firefighters had to climb through a first-storey window to gain entry to the locked nightclub.
"When we got there we were unable to gain access so we accessed via a ladder to the first level of the nightclub," said Fire Service spokesman Jaron Phillips.
"That's when we found a female bleeding and unconscious and we broke into the premises."
