A man is before the courts following an incident in Takanini last night.

Three people were transported to hospital with serious injuries consistent with stab wounds, where they remained in a stable condition, police said.

A 34-year-old man was arrested on Takanini School Road with the assistance of the police Eagle Helicopter, after leaving the scene in a car.

He is due to appear before the Manukau District Court today on three charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
