The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested two people following a disturbance in Kilgariff, Alice Springs.

While responding to a separate incident in the area around 11:45pm on Friday, police were approached for assistance regarding a nearby disturbance.

A group of up to seven people approached police, including a male allegedly armed with an edged weapon.

Police issued verbal directions for the male to disarm and drew a taser as part of these directions.

A female offender attempted to disarm an officer holding the taser.

A crowd formed around police and hindered arrest attempts by allegedly pushing and shoving members.

A witness assisted by removing the edged weapon, which was subsequently seized by police.

The 21-year-old male who was allegedly armed with the edged weapon was arrested as well as the 30-year-old female who allegedly interfered with police.

Both offenders allegedly resisted arrest before they were brought into custody, where they remain.

No police members were injured.

Investigations are ongoing to identify additional co-offenders.
