Police are asking for help to identify those involved in a brawl on Auckland’s Karangahape Rd early today.<\/p>\n
Three men were hospitalised after a series of assaults following the “mass disorder”, police said, and four arrested.<\/p>\n
Emergency services were called to disperse the crowd, estimated at more than 50 people, at 3.41am.<\/p>\n
“A significant amount of police resource, including dog units were deployed to disperse parties at the disorder,” Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Greaves said in a statement on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
“Around 4.15am there was a serious assault outside the Crown Bar on Queen St. A 33-year-old man received serious injuries and was hospitalised.<\/p>\n
“Around 4.30am there was another serious assault on Cobden St just off Karangahape Rd. A 27-year-old man received serious injuries and was hospitalised.<\/p>\n
“A third serious assault took place at the Mobil Service Station on the corner or Karangahape and Ponsonby Rds around 5am. A 46-year-old man was seriously injured and also hospitalised.”<\/p>\n
Police are asking any witnesses to come forward via 105, particularly if they had photos or video.<\/p>\n
A 21-year-old man will appear in the Auckland District Court on Monday charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.<\/p>\n
Two further offenders from the night of chaos were still sought, Greaves said.<\/p>\n
“Police are disappointed at the bad, aggressive and careless behaviour on display on Karangahape Road and will be holding any and all offenders to account.”<\/p>\n
