Late last evening taupo's Youthtown rescue helicopter was called to Taumaranui Hospital to transport a man with deep facial lacerations to Waikato hospital. The injuries were sustained in the National Park township area and were the result of a dog bite. He was initially roaded to Taumaranui but due to the seriousness of his injuries he was airlifted from there to Waikato.
