A police officer was allegedly assaulted following a brawl involving around 20 young people outside a central Dunedin fast food restaurant yesterday afternoon.
Police said it responded to several reports of disorder outside the McDonald’s on George St at about 3.40pm.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said police attended and arrested one person for threatening behaviour.
“The person has then allegedly assaulted the arresting police officer. Thankfully, the officer was uninjured.”
A 15-year-old girl was set to appear in the youth court on July 17.
She was charged with disorderly behaviour likely to cause violence, possession of an offensive weapon, and assaulting police.
