Four people have been attacked by a lone man with a knife on Auckland's North Shore, in what police are calling a traumatic but isolated incident.
The four stabbing victims have moderate injuries, while the offender is in custody and helping police with their investigation.
Police were initially called to Murrays Bay just before midday. But the attacker then made his way to neighbouring Mairangi Bay, with people running to escape as he approached.
Eventually he was taken down by a member of the public - with a crutch. Checkpoint reporter Katie Todd has the details.
