Police have confirmed that a person was assaulted as more than 200 Mongrel Mob members gathered in Rotorua to attend the tangi of patched member Rex Maney.
A police spokeswoman confirmed police received a report of an assault at the intersection of Old Taupō Rd and Devon St at 12.45pm
on Monday.
The spokeswoman said she was not sure on how many people involved or the number of injuries and later confirmed it was gang related.
The Rotorua Daily Post understands a man was assaulted by multiple people.
A St John spokeswoman said at 12.46pm an ambulance were called to attend but police later stood them down and they did not attend the scene.
