A St John spokesman said they were notified of the incident via a 111 call and sent one ambulance to the scene. The patient was treated there before being taken to Rotorua Hospital, he said.
No further information regarding the incident was available at this time, but that did not ease Flavell's concerns.
She was hoping to hear something from police amid concerns for her own safety following the event.
"It was a big deal to me actually. I was just concerned really, concerned for the neighbourhood."
