Police say a man has been charged with murder after a fatal hit and run in west Auckland.
A man was hit by a vehicle in a busy shopping area on Glendale Road in Glen Eden at about 12.15pm.
He died at the scene despite the efforts of passers-by to save him.
Police said a 27-year-old man was arrested tonight in New Lynn and would appear in the Waitakere District Court tomorrow.
New Lynn residents could expect to see police in the neighbourhood as they carried out a scene examination, they said.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach TongansĀ wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. Thatās why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
