A pregnant woman has been left battling serious injuries after being stabbed in Raetihi.
The incident was one of many reports of disorder in the small Ruapehu district town yesterday, while the armed offenders squad carry out a search warrant in the main street this morning.
Armed officers have been at a Seddon St property since 7am today, a police spokeswoman confirmed.
It's unclear what the warrant is in relation to, but police did confirm the pregnant woman was stabbed in adjacent Duncan St about 2.45pm yesterday.
The incident was reported as "disorder" before police arriving to find a woman had suffered a stabbing injury.
