Brawl on busy Auckland road caught on tape

Footage has emerged of a group of young men brawling yesterday, with two of them pushed onto a busy Auckland road and attacked by others.

Police say it was one of multiple violent skirmishes outside the annual Polyfest event.

The footage was uploaded to Facebook and has been viewed 112,000 times.

It was taken on Great South Rd near the Manukau Sports Bowl.

The annual Polyfest was being held at the venue, but it's unclear whether the men in the video had attended or were connected to the cultural celebration.

They were wearing red and blue clothing - generally recognised as the colours of the opposing Crips and Bloods gangs - in a flurry of pushing, shoving and punching.

It spills out onto the busy road and two people are pushed to the tarseal, the others kicking, stomping and leaping on them as the attack continues.

Then, just as quickly as it seemed to start, it finishes and they all take off.

Police say they received multiple 111 calls - but say it appears no arrests were made at the scene.
