Two groups were fighting on a petrol station forecourt before two people were injured - one critically, a witness says.
Emergency services were called to Z Hunter’s Corner in the South Auckland suburb of Papatoetoe just before 1.20pm in what police described as an “assault incident” involving a weapon.
They wouldn’t describe the weapon but said it wasn’t a firearm.
A woman who saw the frightening act of violence unfold at the petrol station on East Tamaki Rd told the Herald a “sharp” weapon was involved.
She wasn’t able to describe the weapon further.
