At around 12.15pm, a man arrived at a medical centre on Lunn Avenue with critical injuries.
Detective Inspector Scott Beard, of Auckland City CIB, says Police were contacted and units responded to the area, including the Police Eagle helicopter.
“After arriving at the medical centre, the man was transported to Auckland City Hospital in a critical condition,” he says. “Despite best efforts, the man has died in hospital this afternoon.”
“At this early stage, we have established the victim got into an altercation with occupants of a hatchback vehicle on Harris Road in Mt Wellington earlier this afternoon,” Detective Inspector Beard says. “During this altercation the victim has sustained stabbing injuries, before both parties left the scene. The victim later presented at the medical centre with his injuries.”
Police have located the vehicle believed to be involved in the earlier incident, on Laud Avenue in Ellerslie.
Scene examinations are being carried out at both locations as part of the investigation.
“We are working to establish those involved in this afternoon’s events and why this has occurred,” Detective Inspector Beard says. Police have been speaking with people as part of early enquiries, including residents around the two scenes we have cordoned off.
“Mt Wellington residents will continue to see an increased Police presence across the area over the coming days in response to what has occurred.”
Police would like to hear from anyone who has witnessed the incident this afternoon in Mt Wellington.
Anyone who might have dashcam or other CCTV footage should also come forward.

Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
