Father and son attacked while trying to help teenage girl in Auckland

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Two good samaritans were left battered and bruised after an unprovoked attack on a quiet Auckland street, police say.

Sergeant Brett Meale said the two men were walking down Mellons Bay Rd in Howick with extended family members when they saw a teenage girl who looked upset around 9pm on November 23.

The man, 43, and his 68-year-old father stopped to check on the welfare of the young woman, who was with a group of mainly teenage males, Meale said. "Without warning the younger man was knocked to the ground and kicked numerous times," he said. More information here.

Anyone with information about the assaults or those involved can contact Sergeant Brett Meale on 021 191 0747 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
