A teenager has been charged with assault after a party in Auckland’s Mt Albert which left four people injured, as police continue to seek others involved.
A local resident told RNZ hundreds of people gathered at the party on Phyllis Street, before the violence spilt onto the road.
Police earlier said a car had been driven at partygoers, and there were reports of machetes being involved.
A 17-year-old male was arrested in relation to the disorder incident on 27 March, said detective senior sergeant Anthony Darvill.
He will appear in the Auckland Youth Court on Thursday.
