A person has been injured in an alleged stabbing following a two-car crash in the West Auckland suburb of Avondale this evening.
Police were called to the scene on Great North Rd near Ash St after receiving reports of a two-car crash, followed by further reports of a stabbing, around 4.50pm.
A St John spokesperson told 1News it responded with one operations manager, one rapid response unit, and one ambulance.
One person was found with an “injury consistent with a stab wound”, police said.
They were taken to hospital in a moderate condition.
The suspect was found a short time later and taken into custody.
A section of Ash St, between Great North Rd and Rosebank Rd, is closed while police examine the scene.
