Two men have faced off with knives on a street in a small town south of Auckland, a witness says.
A worker at Muse Salon in Tuakau, about 70km south of Auckland, said she and her customers were scared when a fight broke out on George St.
She rushed to
lock the salon's door that opened on the town's main street before calling the police.
"There was a fight out there, and they had a machete and a knife," she said.
She said some locals went out into the street to talk to the men and help calm them down.
