Police were besieged by flying bottles after responding to reports of fighting outside an east Auckland home.

A police spokesperson says officers arrived at the address in Half Moon Bay at about 10pm on February 12 after receiving calls about a “large group” of people fighting outside the property.

“A large police presence was required to clear the address and move people out of the area.

“During the incident bottles were thrown at police and a police vehicle was damaged.

“The matter was eventually able to be resolved.

“A number of young people were detained at the time of the event and enquiries are ongoing for both the disorder event and the damage to the police car.”
