At least four people have sustained injuries, out of which three are said to be in critical condition, after a stabbing attack at a New Zealand supermarket.
According to details, the stabbing took place at a Countdown supermarket in central Dunedin on South Island in the afternoon.
The police officials have revealed that one person has been taken into custody in connection with the incident.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the motivation behind the attack was not clear but that there was no indication it was a domestic terror event.
Incidents of mass violence are rare in New Zealand but the country saw the 2019 Christchurch shooting when a white supremacist killed more than 50 people at two mosques.
Local media reports say the injured are made of both supermarket employees and customers. Witnesses also described chaotic scenes at the supermarket saying there were screams and terrors everywhere.
