In an update this afternoon, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Hayward, of Counties Manukau West CIB, said inquiries began after a police unit passed by an altercation occurring allegedly between two security guards and a man. “We have made further inquiries into what has taken place, and two men have been charged as a result,” Hayward said. It is not clear how the incident began or who the security guards were working for at the time of the incident. One of the security guards can then be seen appearing to kick the man in the head before the other security guard dragged him across to the side of the road. The guard can be seen punching the man with closed fists at least four times.
