A person has been arrested and is in custody and police enquiries are under way following a violent incident at Tuakau College in south Auckland/North Waikato this Thursday morning.
Detective inspector Shaun Vickers, of Counties Manukau Police CIB, has told the Times, emergency services were called to the Buckland Road school at about 9.55am on March 26 following a report of a person being injured.
“Upon arrival a young person was quickly taken into custody,” says Vickers.
“The victim has since been taken to hospital with minor injuries.
“Police are still making enquiries into exactly what has taken place.
However, at this stage we can advise the incident involves a student and a teacher.
“Tuakau College initiated its lockdown procedures following the incident, and this has now lifted,” Vickers says.
“We can reassure the wider community that the matter is contained and there’s no wider risk to students or the wider public.”
