A witness, who works near the crime scene, told Newshub he saw a woman run out of a Papakura house covered in blood while carrying a baby.
He said other bystanders used a large number of nappies to try to stop the bleeding before an ambulance arrived.
Police have confirmed the baby was uninjured in the incident and is being cared for by relatives.
Police are trying to establish what happened at the address.
There is not believed to be any on-going risk to the public, according to police.
