A St John Ambulance spokeswoman said they responded with one ambulance to an incident.
“We assessed and treated two patients with serious injuries who were transported to Christchurch hospital.”
A neighbour told Chris Lynch two people were stabbed in a gang fight at a social housing complex.
She said “Otautahi Trust has ignored anti-social behaviour for months and left us tenants feeling terrorised and afraid.”
Another resident said he woke up to hear a lot of noise outside. The group looked about 15 years of age he said.
Otautahi Trust was approached for comment but told Chris Lynch their media person didn’t work on weekends.
Police said they weren’t in a position to comment further on the incident.
