One person is in a critical condition after what police are calling an incident near the Nelson Police Station.<\/p>\n
People were asked to avoid the area, although police say they are not seeking any one else and there does not appear to be any threat to public safety.<\/p>\n
A cordon was established nearby at the corner of Harley St and Hardy St, which has since been removed.<\/p>\n
An ambulance and critical care vehicle were spotted at the scene off Bridge Street, though details of the callout are unclear.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Hato Hone St John said it was called at 11.35 Wednesday. A helicopter, ambulance, rapid response and operations manager were sent to the scene.<\/p>\n
“One patient is being transported to Nelson Hospital (by ambulance) in a critical condition.”<\/p>\n
St John referred further requests for comment to police.<\/p>\n
A ute was towed from the scene though it is not known whether it was connected to the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One person is in a critical condition after what police are calling an incident near the Nelson Police…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492513,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-492512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
