A suspect has now been arrested following a sword attack on the Auckland office of New Zealand’s prime minister, Jacinda Ardern.

Ardern is currently out of the country, visiting Antartica.

Reports suggest a person was smashing a hole in the office door and throwing objects before smoke came through the building.

Police have now confirmed a 57-year-old woman has been taken into custody in connection with the incident.

The large knife used appears to be a machete or small sword and was located on the footpath near the office.

Witnesses say an owner of a nearby shop was warned not to “touch the machete handle” as a scene examination was conducted.

The PM is due back in New Zealand late on Friday.
