Attributable to Detective Inspector Chris Barry, Counties Manukau Police:
Police and ambulance were called to a disorder event at Fort Richard Road, Ōtāhuhu, just before 1:30pm today.
On arrival Police located two injured males in a vehicle.
They were both transported to Auckland Hospital by ambulance - one in a serious condition and one in a minor condition.
The man in a serious condition is undergoing surgery this afternoon.
Two further males presented themselves at Middlemore Hospital and are being treated for injuries which Police believe eventuated from the same incident.
No arrests have been made as yet however a large number of Police are in the Fort Richard Road and Sturges Park area speaking to people and conducting inquiries into the incident.
Police would like to reassure the community that this appears to be an isolated incident.
There is nothing to suggest this is connected to recent gang tensions in the area.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, or has any information which may assist, is asked to contact Police by calling 105 and quoting event number P047459560.
