Three women and two men are being sought by police as a person was today charged for his alleged involvement in an "aggressive and careless" bar fight in Hastings earlier this month.
Police were called to a brawl at the Common Room bar around 1.45am on March 8.
Several people were seriously injured in the fracas and one person required hospital treatment.
"Police are disappointed at the aggressive and careless behaviour on display at the Common Room that night and will be holding any offenders to account," Detective Sergeant Heath Jones said at the time.
Jones today said a 32-year-old man was arrested in relation to the incident.
He was due to appear in the Hastings District Court tomorrow charged with five counts of assault with intent to injure, three counts of injuring with intent to injure, injuring with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and assault.
Further arrests could not be ruled out.
Three women and two men are now being sought by police "as we believe they may be able to assist in our inquiries", Jones said.
Anyone with information was asked to call police on 105 or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
