Multiple people were arrested after police responded to a fight at a busy bar on Auckland's Karangahape Road last night.
Police said officers were called to reports of fighting inside a bar — with about 500 patrons inside — on Karangahape Rd at around 12.30am.
One person was arrested at that time.
"A short time later, police were called again after reports of more fighting and bar management advised police they would be closing the bar," a police spokesperson said.
"There was already a significant number of pedestrians in the area around the bar and additional officers were brought in to manage the crowd as patrons left the bar when it closed."
Seven people were arrested, however six of those were subsequently released without charge," police said.
The remaining person was charged with assaulting police.
