“The patient only had mild injuries and did not require transportation by helicopter. They were safely transported to the hospital by ambulance instead.”
A police spokesperson said police attended after receiving a report of an assault at an address on Morrinsville-Walton Rd, reported around 1.15pm.
“One person has subsequently presented at a local medical centre and is being assessed for an injury, inquiries into the incident are ongoing. There is not thought to be an ongoing risk to the community, the parties involved are believed to be known to each other.”
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said one ambulance and a helicopter responded to the incident.
“We assessed one patient in moderate condition and will be transporting them to hospital.”
A Waikato Herald reporter at the scene said there were three police cars near the marae.
