One person has been critically injured in the Auckland suburb of Mt Wellington.

Police were called to Meadow St at about 7.25pm after a man was found on the footpath.

“He has been transported to hospital,” a spokesperson said.

“Police are on scene working to establish how he became injured and locate those responsible.”

Hato Hone St John said an ambulance and rapid response vehicle were sent to the scene.

“We have taken one person to Auckland City Hospital in a critical condition.”

The police cordon has since been taken down, a Herald photographer on the scene reported.

Police units were on nearby Church St, with officers walking through the nearby park with torches searching bushes at the reserve behind the tennis club.
