Four people in hospital after 'violent' incident in Mount Albert

Four people are in hospital after youths clashed in the Auckland suburb of Mount Albert on Friday night.

Police said they were called to Phyllis Street just before 10pm.

"Early information suggests that a vehicle was driven toward a group of partygoers, injuring two people - one with moderate injuries and one with minor injuries," Senior Sergeant John Nicol said,

At least two other people were also moderately injured during the "wider disorder".

"Police are continuing to investigate and work to establish exactly what occurred."

St John said it was called to the Auckland suburb at 9.24pm. One person was taken to Auckland Hospital in a serious condition, along with three others who were moderately injured.

A spokesperson for the ambulance said it was liaising with other emergency services.

A Phyllis Street resident, who did not want to be named, said she was woken by the sounds of a "violent" altercation involving a large group of people.

"There was so many people out there screaming and shouting at each other and they were kicking the gates and fences of random houses down Phyllis Street. It sounded like people were getting really hurt."

Residents of a nearby property Michael and Susan Wells said they had seen the gathering and heard screams.

The number of partygoers swelled, when news of the fight spread, Michael Wells said.

"We noticed more cars piling in, the traffic was quite busy, busier than usual."

Vehicles appeared to come from around the area, Susan Wells said

"More cars coming down and doing burnouts at about 10, so people were still arriving at that point to try to check out what was happening and it looked like they wanted to join in".
