Two hurt in stabbing at party

Two people were stabbed at a brawl after a house party in Auckland early yesterday went “very wrong”.

St John ambulance said two people were hurt, one critically and one moderately, as a result of a stabbing.

Emergency services were called to an address on Cameron St around 1.50am yesterday, and police continue to investigate.

A pool of blood could be seen on the pavement outside the house yesterday morning.

A neighbour told the Herald she was woken by “very loud female screaming” after what had seemed like a happy, respectful party.

“The neighbours are new to the street, by about a month, and they came over on Friday to tell us they were going to have a party, which we were grateful for.

“The party went really well all evening, there was lots of laughter and happiness.

“It wasn’t loud or disturbing in any way.

“We went to bed and thought they were being really respectful, but then about 1.30am we heard screaming which woke us.

“Then all hell broke loose from there.

“There were men shouting at the police, at the dogs, and other members of the party. It was a good couple of hours of mayhem.”

Neighbours said the property was a rental, and the tenants had only recently moved in.
