Around 11:30pm a 52-year-old man was attacked by a small group of people unknown to him during an argument.

During the attack he was struck over the head with a wine glass, Acting Detective Sergeant Warwick Worth said.

The man remained in Middlemore Hospital in a critical but stable condition after emergency surgery, he said.
