Four people have been admitted to hospital following a number of assaults in the Bay of Plenty last night.
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Turner said police were called to a Te Puke property about 9.45pm where they discovered three people with stab wounds.
A man was also found at another property, who had been beaten with a hockey stick.
All four were admitted to the Tauranga Hospital with serious injuries.
One man remained in the intensive care unit in a stable condition while a second man had been transferred to a ward.
