A Newshub camera person spoke to a colleague of the person who was seriously injured who said it was a stabbing. This has yet to be confirmed by police.

The police spokesperson said officers are making enquiries into what happened, including how the person was injured.

"However, initial enquiries suggest there is no risk to the public in relation to this incident," the spokesperson said.
