An officer was allegedly assaulted by an agitated man at the Taupō Events Centre today.
Taupō area response manager Senior Sergeant Phil Edwards said police were called to reports of a man shouting at others at the complex at about 2pm.
When police arrived, the man resisted and an officer was hit in the face during the struggle, he alleged.
A taser and pepper spray was then used to subdue the man.
The man was taken to Taupō Hospital, along with the injured officer who was taken for observation.
