A man has been taken to hospital in a critical condition early today suffering what are believed to be stab wounds in West .

A team of forensic experts, detectives, and specialist search group members are in Coburg St in Henderson Valley after the 2.15am incident.

The cul-de-sac was still cordoned off early this afternoon after specialist staff from ESR and police photography documented evidence and blood trails this morning.

Trails of blood were spread throughout the scene, leading from one address across the road to a nearby footbridge at Murillo Reserve.

A St John spokesperson said staff took one person to Auckland Hospital.

“A man was located with what are believed to be stab wounds.

“He has been transported to hospital in critical condition.

“Inquiries into the full circumstances of the incident are ongoing.”
