Safety in central Auckland's back in the spotlight, after Sunday morning's mass brawl on Karangahape Road, leaving three people with serious head injuries.

A 21-year-old man's appeared in court, but Police are still looking for other people involved.

K Road Community Safety co-founder, Karen Ritchie, told Andrew Dickens that public violence, anti-social behaviour and drug-taking are far too common.

She says it's an awful time, where people and businesses are having to deal with this type of behaviour.

A fight in Auckland's Wiri on Sunday night also put two people in hospital.
