A person has been seriously assaulted and a vehicle shot at following a crash in South Auckland, police say.<\/p>\n
They said a Toyota and a Volkswagen crashed about 5.10pm on Ronwood Road in Manukau.<\/p>\n
Senior Sergeant Aji Basra said an occupant of the Toyota was then reportedly assaulted by occupants of the Volkswagen.<\/p>\n
Police believed a firearm was also discharged, damaging the Toyota.<\/p>\n
“Two people received minor injuries, one of which required medical attention and has self-transported to hospital.<\/p>\n
“The victims are understandably shaken by the incident, and we are providing them with support.”<\/p>\n
The offenders left the area in the Volkswagen before police arrived, and in tandem with a Nissan, Basra said.<\/p>\n
The Volkswagen was found abandoned on Cavendish Drive, and police believe the offenders continued on in the Nissan.<\/p>\n
Their enquiries were continuing.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Far North police said it appeared there were serious injuries after a two-vehicle crash in the rural locality of Peria.<\/p>\n
Emergency services were called to Oruru Road, near Jason Road, about 8pm.<\/p>\n
They said the road would be closed for some time while emergency services were at the scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A person has been seriously assaulted and a vehicle shot at following a crash in South Auckland, police…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":532353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[138,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-581167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581167","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=581167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/532353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
