"One person sustained serious stab wounds and was taken to Waikato Hospital. Two other people sustained minor injuries," a police spokesperson says.
"Police are making enquiries into this incident and a scene guard has been in place while scene examinations are undertaken."
Anyone who may have seen this incident or has any information is asked to contact 105.
