Superintendent Scott Fraser:

Police remained at Parliament grounds overnight monitoring the activity of protesters.

Earlier in the evening, a protester had a suspected medical event within Parliament grounds.

An ambulance was unable to drive directly to him because of the protesters' vehicles blocking the surrounding roads.

This caused a delay in his treatment with ambulance staff having to walk some distance to get to the man who was waiting with Police.

Despite the very difficult environment, our staff, and our Wellington Free Ambulance colleagues, acted with empathy and professionalism, ensuring this man got the medical treatment he needed.

There was one arrest overnight for a breach of bail conditions.

There have been no arrests this morning.

Police will have a significant presence at Parliament grounds today and we continue to explore options to resolve the disruption to local businesses and allow free and safe movement around the city.
