Two people have been injured after a dispute between neighbours turned to violence in an Auckland suburb overnight.
Police were called to Weymouth Rd, in Manurewa, after receiving calls about 1am that occupants between neighbouring properties were arguing and damaging each other’s properties.
Authorities described the incident as an “ongoing dispute” between two neighbouring properties on the street.
“Ultimately, this resulted in a vehicle attempting to leave an address and crashing into a fence,” a police spokesman said.
Photos show a black car with its windows - including the rear window and windshield - smashed in.
The vehicle itself has crashed through a fence. Shattered glass and debris litter the ground around it.

The police spokesman said: “Police spent a considerable amount of time working to de-escalate the situation and speak to occupants from both addresses.
“We are continuing to make inquiries and no charges have been laid at this stage.”
