Two people were injured in an assault following a crash in South Auckland yesterday, with a gun reportedly fired at a car during the incident. <\/p>\n
The alleged offenders fled the scene and remain at large. <\/p>\n
Police were called to Ronwood Road in Manukau at around 5.10pm after a crash between a Toyota and a Volkswagen. <\/p>\n
Senior Sergeant Aji Basra said a person in the Toyota was allegedly assaulted by occupants of the Volkswagen. Two people suffered minor injuries during the altercation, with one taking themselves to hospital. <\/p>\n
It is believed a gun was pulled out and fired at the Toyota, leaving minor damage. <\/p>\n
“The victims are understandably shaken by the incident, and we are providing them with support,\u201d Basra said. <\/p>\n
Before police arrived, the offenders fled the scene in the Volkswagen, joined by a Nissan. <\/p>\n
The Volkswagen was later found abandoned on Cavendish Drive, and police believe the offenders continued in the Nissan.<\/p>\n
“Police are now working to determine what exactly has happened, and to identify and locate the offenders believed to be responsible.” <\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the incident was asked to call police on 105.<\/p>\n
