Man acting 'aggressively' at Auckland train station causes delays

August 16, 2022

There were delays on the Auckland train network after a man was acting in an "aggressive manner" at a busy inner city station.

Police say they were called to Newmarket Station around 9:30am after reports of the aggressive behaviour towards the public.

"No reports of any injuries as a result. The man is being spoken to by police and we cannot rule out the possibility of charges being laid," police said in a statement.

Auckland Transport tweeted that they were disruptions on Western Line services due to the incident.

Services have since resumed, although AT warns there may still be some delays.
