The men who helped a woman who'd been stabbed in her sushi shop in Auckland's Browns Bay, say they did what anyone would've

The woman was seriously injured in the incident last Thursday - and the offender died at the scene from self-inflicted wounds.

The victim's family has left a note in the storefront, thanking the heroes who were present at the time of the incident and the community for their support.

Builder Laurence Park told the Herald he was working on a shop next to Neco Sushi at the time.

He says he saw a woman crawling from the shop entrance so he rushed to her, called the police, and shouted to his workers to help.
