One person is in a serious condition following a reported assault at a Christchurch property this evening.

Emergency services were called to an Olliviers Rd address in Phillipstown about 5.40pm, where a person was found injured.

Hato Hone St John sent one ambulance, two rapid response vehicles and an operations
manager. The patient was assessed at the scene and taken to Christchurch Hospital in a serious condition.

The exact circumstances are still being investigated. Cordons remain in place and members of the public are being asked to avoid the area.

Residents have reported seeing armed officers in the neighbourhood, while video circulating on social media appears to show multiple armed police outside a property in Olliviers Rd.
