Despite the best efforts of first responders, the man died at the scene.
Acting Detective Inspector Simon Harrison, of Waitematā Police’s criminal investigation branch, says one person was taken into custody at the scene.
“Police are not seeking anyone else in relation to this matter.
“We would like to reassure the community that this appears to be an isolated incident.”
