An alleged burglar was critically injured after a resident fought back during an attempted robbery at a property in Auckland’s Papatoetoe. <\/p>\n
Counties Manukau CIB Detective Inspector Karen Bright said officers were notified of a person who had been injured at an address on Coates Rd shortly after 4am. <\/p>\n
“An offender is believed to have unlawfully entered the property and assaulted an occupant,” she said. <\/p>\n
“Another occupant at the address has come to the victim’s aid, and during an altercation the offender sustained serious injuries.”<\/p>\n
St John said it sent one ambulance. <\/p>\n
“One patient was assessed at the scene and transported to Middlemore Hospital in a critical condition,” a St John spokesperson said. <\/p>\n
Bright said those involved were known to each other, and a 31-year-old man was arrested for breaching bail – with further charges to follow. <\/p>\n
“Inquiries are ongoing into the circumstances surrounding the report,” Bright added. <\/p>\n
