Three Dunedin men are facing charges after an alleged assault at Wanaka's Puzzling World.

Police have been seeking information since the incident on January 20, asking for possible sightings of a black Mazda ute which had a quad bike on the back.

Officers were sent to the scene after an Australian man was assaulted after intervening in an apparently racially motivated verbal altercation.

Detective Matthew Jones today thanked members of the public for information received which allowed them to make the arrests.

Two men are to appear in the Dunedin District Court today, with a third man scheduled to appear in the Queenstown District Court, on February 19.

All have been charged with violence and disorder offences.

The victim, who has since recovered from his injuries, and his family returned to Australia shortly after the assault.
