Police investigating a fight at Paremoremo Prison on Sunday 15 September say it will be several days before any charges are laid.

The fight broke out just before 10.30am and resulted in one man being taken to Auckland Hospital in a serious condition. Two other prisoners were treated at the prison for minor injuries.

"At this stage the four offenders and three victims are refusing to speak with Police" says Detective James Bolton, North Shore CIB.

Investigators are now reviewing CCTV footage taken during the attack, and are speaking with staff.

The main victim underwent surgery last night and is expected to make a full recovery.
