Police and ambulance were called to an address in Marjorie Place, Otahuhu around 1:10am today to reports one person had been critically injured.
Inquiries suggest two men, who were known to each other, had got into an altercation at a private residence.
The man who was initially in a critical condition is now understood to be in a serious condition in hospital.
A 50 year old Otahuhu man is expected to appear in Manukau District Court today on serious charges, which are yet to be confirmed.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
