A scene guard was in place overnight and a scene examination was to be carried out yesterday morning.

They said residents could expect to see a continued police presence yesterday.

A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they were notified of an incident in Hamilton at 11.06pm, and responded with one ambulance, one rapid response vehicle and one manager.

They assessed and treated one patient who was taken to Waikato Hospital in a critical condition.
