Friend said during the altercation, a knife was pulled out by one of the first group, “resulting in someone from that same group suffering a stab wound”.
He was taken to Auckland City Hospital in a serious condition, and was now in a stable condition.
“The two men from the second group fled the scene on foot but did not suffer injuries.”
Friend said all parties were accounted for, and a scene examination had been completed.
No charges have been laid at this stage.
