A second person has been arrested and police are looking for four more over a bar fight in Hastings earlier this month.
The brawl, which occurred during the early hours of the morning at the Common Room bar on Heretaunga Street East on March 8, left several people injured and one in hospital.
Police said the fight involved both men and women, describing it as "aggressive and careless".
A second person had now been arrested over the fight. The 20-year-old was charged with assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and assault with intent to injure.
He would appear in the Hastings District Court today.
He joins a 32-year-old arrested last week, who was 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 can be expected," Detective Sergeant Heath Jones said.
Police have a warrant to arrest two more men, 18-year-old Christopher Wirihana and 19-year-old Masyn Ratima. Both were believed to be in the Hawke's Bay region.
"Anyone with information on the whereabouts of these two, or with any information that could assist Police is urged to contact 105," Jones said.
Jones said two women were also being sought.
"We believe they may be able to help in our inquiries.
"If this is you, or you recognise these women, please contact police."
