A police officer was assaulted and at least one bottle was thrown when police were called to an out-of-control party in Blenheim early on Sunday morning.
Constable Martin McDonald said police were called to a house in McLauchlan St, in Springlands, after reports some of the 100 people at a party there were fighting in the street.
The policeman was pushed and at least one bottle was thrown at police, Mr McDonald said.
The policeman was not injured.
