Teen stabbed after party in Waiuku Police had already been called to the address after reports of disorder, and made a number of arrests, but had left the property when the attack happened. Emergency services were called to a Victoria Street property near to where the party was hosted about 3am on Saturday. Initial reports were that there had been a party and a fight in the street and the teenager had a head wound and was taken to Middlemore Hospital in a critical condition. The teenager was transferred to Auckland City Hospital where he was in a serious condition, a spokeswoman for Auckland District Health Board said on the weekend, but reports yesterday said he was expected to be back home within a few days. One partygoer said the party itself had largely broken up when the incident occurred, and there were around 15 people left in the area when Reece Rodger was stabbed. It is believed the alleged attacker, who she said left the scene in a vehicle with a family member, had been at the party earlier in the evening. Police said yesterday that the knife is still outstanding and are interested in hearing from anyone who may know where it is. It is thought to be in the area of Mellsop Avenue. Police have arrested a 17 year old man and charged him with Wounding with Intent to Cause Grievous Bodily Harm. He appeared in court yesterday morning. Anyone with any information on the incident or the knife is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Rob Cleary on 09 261 1321 at Papakura CIB. • Hundreds of messages of support flowed in for Reece, with this picture posted on social media by friends as he recovered.
