Police are continuing to search almost a week on for the person responsible for a stabbing that left a man critically injured in Auckland’s Birkenhead.
A man was found with serious injuries on Birkenhead Ave by a member of the public at around 2pm on February 4.
Hato Hone St John said it responded to the incident with one ambulance and two rapid response vehicles.
“One patient, in a critical condition, was transported to Auckland City Hospital.”
A witness told 1News that they saw a badly injured man lying on the side of the road on his back at around 2pm.
“An elderly lady stopped to help him, then a cop car pulled up.”
North Shore area commander inspector Stefan Sagar earlier said that police did not believe it was a “random incident”.
Police said today the victim was recovering from his injuries.
“Since the incident occurred, police have completed a scene examination and area canvas as part of the investigation,” a spokesperson said.
Anyone with relevant information could call police on 105.
