Dear Elsa,
The incident occurred when a party of two males were being escorted off the Spark Arena premises, just after the bollards. One of the males in the party then slapped and kicked one of Spark Arena's response members. A chase ensued shortly after through the Park (Mahuhu ki te Rangi Park), A few minutes after the chase had started a marked police Skoda arrived and parked outside Spark Arena, 2 officers jumped out and joined the chase, eventually catching the offender. I am assuming the nature of the incident would be Assault, and perhaps Disturbing the Peace.
A unmarked Skoda (License plate PKT815) then arrived approximately 20 minutes after the marked Skoda and parked behind the marked Skoda, and may be or may not be related to the case above.
I hope the information provided above is more specific and what you were after.
Yours sincerely,
Connor Phillips

Dear Connor,
Thank you very much for providing further details regarding the incident
concerned by your request.
Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982.
Your request has been refused under s9(2)(a) of the OIA to protect privacy
of natural person and s6(c) of the OIA, as the making available of that
information would be likely to prejudice the maintenance of the law,
including the prevention, investigation, and detection of offences, and
the right to a fair trial.
Police considers the interests requiring protection by withholding the
information are not outweighed by any public interest in release of the
information.
Please note that as part of its commitment to openness and transparency,
Police proactively releases some information and documents that may be of
interest to the public. An anonymised version of this response may be
publicly released on the New Zealand Police website.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
