Police have launched a homicide inquiry after a fight in Porirua left a man dead.
Police were called to the scene on Parumoana St at 5:40pm on Thursday.
The man was found with serious injuries and given medical assistance, but died at the scene.
A police spokesperson told Newshub the incident occurred outside Te Rauparaha Park.
The spokesperson said they could not confirm the man had been stabbed, but that it was a "serious assault."
An investigation is underway, and police are working to understand the circumstances of the man's death.
A woman at the scene told Stuff she had seen the man and his younger brother half an hour before the incident.
