Five people were arrested after a brawl broke out in a central Rotorua dairy.
Police were quickly at the scene of a brawl at the Smart Convenience store on Pukuatua St just after 3pm yesterday.
A large crowd standing at the nearby bus stop witnessed a group of women yelling outside the store before a fight broke out inside.
Cousins Mihi Terupe and Tamara Hall, both 19, had been waiting for their bus when they ran to break up the brawl.
"One girl was getting attacked. She was just in [the shop] and these other girls came up and started hitting her," Miss Terupe said.
