A man has serious injuries to his head and body after being attacked with a chainsaw.
A neighbour told how she was watching TV as American Idol finalist Candice Glover was about to take the stage when the chainsaw roared into life in the hillside street on the southern side of Whangarei.
Dorothy Harris said a "major argument" had broken out a few doors away, drowning out her favourite Idol's television performance.
"Somebody was revving a chainsaw. I just thought 'what on earth is going on down there?'," she said.
The 43-year-old man was attacked just after 9.15pm on Friday, leaving blood splattered on Morningside Rd.
Whangarei police sergeant Howard Clement said the man had "significant injuries" to his face and body.
He was taken by ambulance to Whangarei Hospital, where he had surgery yesterday afternoon.
Last night, he was in a satisfactory condition.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
