A man has been arrested after two people were left seriously injured in a stabbing attack in South Auckland.
Police arrested the 23-year-old man after the incident at what RNZ understands was a fast food premises in Takanini.
Police were called to a Great South Road address in Takanini at 3.10pm on Sunday.
It is alleged the man stabbed two staff members before fleeing the scene.
He was found at a nearby location a short time later and taken into custody.
Stuff and 1 News are reporting the business was the Takanini Burger King.
The two injured staff members were transferred to Middlemore Hospital.
"These two people were simply doing their jobs and could not have anticipated coming to work today and becoming victims in an incident like this," Detective Inspector Tofilau Fa' amanuia Va'aelua of Counties Manukau CIB said.
"We hope it is reassuring that we have made a quick arrest and will put this person before the courts to be held accountable."
