A homicide probe is underway after the assault of a 69-year-old man in his Auckland home, who later died in hospital.
Emergency services were notified of the assault in the early hours of Sunday morning in Māngere East, a police statement says.
"The man was critically injured in the assault, which occurred at his home," police said on Monday.
"He was transported to Middlemore Hospital and tragically passed away last night."
Police said a 58-year-old man has been charged with wounding with intent and was scheduled to appear in the Manukau District Court on Monday.
"The investigation into this matter is ongoing and further charges may be laid," the statement said.
"Police can confirm however that nobody else is being sought in relation to the death."
