Hose on picketers leads to fight
PA Auckland Police are investigating assault complaints after a ticket outside a Ponsonby jakery yesterday developed into a fight. Members of the Bakers’ Union and family and friends of a former employee picketed La Patisserie bakery in Jervois Road over a pay dispute.
The bakery manager, Mr Chris Peck, said he turned a fire hose on the picketers because they were stopping customers from getting into the shop. A woman passing by the shop was wet by the hose and a fight broke out between her, Mr Peck, and picketers. Police were called to break up the fight. Various participants and witnesses were interviewed and assault complaints made, the police said.
