Two police officers have been injured in the Auckland suburb of Mount Wellington following an assault during an arrest.
Police responded to a fleeing driver incident just after 6pm on Tuesday on Pilkington Road in Glen Innes, when the driver of the car failed to stop when signalled to do so.
The car was chased to a property on Panorama Road in Mount Wellington.
"At the property police staff quickly took one person into custody and then worked to locate a second person who had hidden in the property," Inspector Danny Meade said.
"The second person resisted arrest and assaulted two officers in the process, before being taken into custody."
The two officers have been transported to Auckland Hospital with moderate injuries.
Charges are being considered.
