A child has been taken to hospital after what is being described as a "water incident" in northern Waikato this afternoon.
The child was in a moderate condition when taken by St John ambulance from Mangatangi, 20 kilometres east of Pokeno, to Kidz First Children's Hospital in South Auckland, a St John spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman couldn't confirm the child's age or sex.
A St John ambulance and first response unit were sent after the alarm was raised, and
the Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter was also dispatched, but not needed.
