A heavy police presence remained outside a cordoned off scene at Richardson’s Restaurant after 8am on Friday morning when a Stuff reporter arrived.
There were three police cars and an ambulance parked outside, detectives and people in white boiler suits, masks and gloves coming in and out of the restaurant. The whole premises had been taped off.

A police spokesperson said the man was “found unresponsive following an assault”.
A shopkeeper across the street said the cordon was in place when he arrived at 7am.
He said the bar was “very quiet usually” and there wasn’t ever any trouble there, so he was surprised by the heavy police presence.
