A man is dead and another has been arrested after a family harm situation in Papamoa this morning.
A local man in his 20s has been arrested in relation to the death of a man in his 40s, who was fatally stabbed at about 8.30am this morning.
Police say that no one else has been injured and no one else is being sought in relation to the death.
Police assure there is no risk to the public.
Neighbour Todd Madden, who was walking to their car on the front lawn with his 6-year-old, told NZ Herald they saw a "young guy covered in blood" in a driveway.
"[He] yelled at me to call the police."
"Police arrived and he laid down on the ground and I grabbed the two kids."
The children told him there was a victim inside "laying in a pool of blood".
"They had been crying loudly for about 30 minutes but I just thought they were being naughty - I wished I had've gone over earlier."
