Three people were arrested in Dunedin last night for travelling around the student quarter in a car, verbally and physically assaulting pedestrians. Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said police received multiple calls from residents alleging a group of teenagers was driving around abusing people and getting into fights. Another 19-year-old man was arrested for assault and he too was given a formal warning. A third 19-year-old man was arrested for assault and will appear in the Dunedin District Court on Thursday. He said the 19-year-olds were not students, and it was unclear what their motives were for the attacks.
