A brawl involving up to 40 teenagers near Kuirau Park has seen 15 people arrested at the weekend.
Bay of Plenty Police District Acting Senior Sergeant Courtney Brunt told the Rotorua Daily Post yesterday that four youths were charged with disorderly behaviour and fighting related offences on Saturday.
Police responded to reports of a large group of people, many of them under 15-years-old, fighting near the intersection of Ranolf and Pukuatua Streets, Mr Brunt said.
The remaining 11 people who were arrested, but not charged, were taken back to their parents, or caregivers, by police, he said.
A large number of people also fled as police arrived.
