Four people are in hospital after “violent” incident in Mount Albert on Friday evening.
St John said it was called to the Auckland suburb at 9.24pm. It responded with eight vehicles, including three critical care units, four transporting ambulances and an operations manager.
One person was taken to Auckland Hospital in a serious condition, along with three others who were moderately injured.
A spokesperson for the ambulance said it was liasing with other emergency services.
The nature of the incident remains unclear. RNZ has approached Police for comment.
A Phyllis Street resident, who did not want to be named, said she was woken by the sounds of a “violent” altercation involving a large group of people.
“There was so many people out there screaming and shouting at each other and they were kicking the gates and fences of random houses down Phyllis Street. It sounded like people were getting really hurt.”
