A person is in custody after a man was seen bleeding in the carpark of an Auckland mall following an altercation.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they were called to LynnMall, in the city’s west, shortly after 11am and found a person with serious injuries.
They were taken to Auckland Hospital.
A woman who works at a bar in the mall said she saw a man who looked like he was aged in his 30s bleeding in the carpark.
A security guard told her the man had been stabbed in the neck, she said.
“It's crazy that people can do that in broad daylight.”
