Northland police are investigating the death of a man critically injured in the Far North over the weekend.

A 28-year-old man was dropped off at the Bay of Islands Hospital with life-threatening injuries around 3.30am on Saturday.

He was rushed to Auckland Hospital by helicopter where he later died from his injuries.

An investigation by Northland police has revealed the man may have been involved in an altercation with another person at an address in Te Tii, Kerikeri.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Dalzell, Far North Police, said police were appealing for sightings of two vehicles of interest, which were undergoing forensic examination on Monday.
