One person has been taken to hospital with critical injuries after a fight between neighbours in Hamilton. 

Emergency services were notified of someone falling over during “an altercation between neighbours” on Oakley Ave, Claudelands, just before 3.30pm, a police spokesman said. 

Hato Hone St John dispatched an ambulance to the scene along with a manager and rapid response unit at 3.27pm. 

A St John spokesman said: “Our crews assessed and treated one patient who was transported to Waikato Hospital in a critical condition.” 

Fire and Emergency New Zealand referred all questions back to St John.
