Police swarmed an inner-city Auckland suburb this evening after someone appeared to have been stabbed in a group fight.

Police told the Herald they responded to a “disorder incident” after a group of people were allegedly seen fighting in Mt Eden.

An NZME photographer at the scene said the intersection of Dominion Rd and Lambeth Rd in Mt Eden had been taped off by police.

“On police’s arrival, a man was found with injuries consistent with a stab wound,” a police spokesperson said.

“He has been transported to hospital in serious condition. Cordons are in place and police are speaking to the parties involved.”

A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said two ambulances, a rapid response vehicle and an operations manager were sent to the scene about 6.40pm.

“We transported one person in a moderate condition and one in a serious condition to Auckland City Hospital.”
