A witness told NZME they saw a man run into St Kevins Arcade on Karangahape Rd, assault someone attending a Monday night charity meal, then run towards Mercury Lane.<\/p>\n
A resident, whose apartment overlooks Mercury Lane, said the street remained taped off at both entrances hours after the incident.<\/p>\n
She said she had earlier seen detectives photographing the scene.<\/p>\n
The resident, a university student who has lived in the area for 10 months, said she could see an open first aid kit, what appeared to be a bloodstained tissue, blue medical gloves and an item of clothing on the footpath. <\/p>\n
She added a police helicopter and dog squad had also been in the area.<\/p>\n
Police were called to Mercury Lane in central Auckland after reports of a disorder.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t know what to think, cause there are incidents all the time including a bar fight on Saturday night,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were just wondering if it will get worse with the train station opening.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said security at her building had been increased.<\/p>\n
On Saturday night, a fight at a Karangahape Rd bar sparked a large police response after officers were called to reports of fighting inside the venue before being called back when more fighting broke out.<\/p>\n
