“There are cordons in place on Manukau Rd between Ranfurly Rd and Queen Mary Ave,” said a police spokesperson.
Campbell Cres to Puriri Dr is also closed.
“There will be an increased police presence in the area while enquiries are ongoing.”
Police will be releasing further information shortly.
Those on buses heading into the city and caught up in today’s incident were told by drivers they would be diverting off route while they navigated around the cordons.
Four police cars, three ambulances and a fire engine could be seen stationed on the road near Cornwall Park.
A person on a bus travelling down Manukau Rd said they were diverted around the scene.
Police have blocked near the intersection of Greenlane Rd.
Fire and Emergency confirmed it sent one truck to the scene to assist police and has since left.
They referred all other matters to police.
Auckland Transport (AT) is telling passengers that, due to an “emergency services incident” on Manukau Rd, a dozen bus routes would be detouring from their usual route to avoid the cordon.
“Use Journey Planner to find your nearest alternative stop,” a notice on AT’s Journey Planner said.
