“Both were transported to hospital and are now in a stable condition with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.”
An NZME photographer said both men were located at the intersection of Neeson’s Way and Hepburn Rd.
Three ambulances, two critical care units, two managers, and about a dozen police vehicles attended the incident, with ambulance and police officers providing medical assistance to both men before they were rushed to hospital.
The police spokesman said the two injured men, aged 25 and 37, have since been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
They are due to appear in the Waitākere District Court today, likely via audiovisual link.
