One person has been arrested and taken into custody after two men were found dead and three others were injured from a 100-person mass brawl in Gisborne on Saturday night. 

Police Minister Mark Mitchell flew to Gisborne to assist the mayor and police. Mitchell tells Mike Hosking that there is a large gang presence in the area but police are very effective at policing the issue. Mitchell reiterated that this incident was not a gang conflict. 

Hosking also questions Mitchell on police pay negotiations and a lack of police action over community violence.
