A "handful" of people have been arrested after a large group of youths gathered for what appeared to be a fight at an Auckland train station.
Commuters passing through Orakei train station yesterday afternoon told the Herald the youths looked as though they were gearing up for a fight.
Police were out in numbers, trying to defuse any issues, as an Eagle helicopter circled overhead.
This morning, police could not confirm exactly how many arrests there had been but said there were a "handful", all for low-level crimes. There was no mention of charges at this stage.
Jesse Leet, who works at a restaurant near the train station, said there were up to 60 youths at the station about 5pm.
