The Northern Territory Police Force has arrested two people in relation to two separate incidents in Greater Darwin on Tuesday.

Around 3:40pm, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre (JESCC) received reports of a disturbance involving flood evacuees at a sports stadium in Marrara.

Upon police arrival, fighting had ceased and the incident was confirmed to only have involved up to six people.

Alcohol is believed to have been a factor.

A 35-year-old male was arrested for fighting and was later released pending further investigation.

Later on Tuesday night, police were called to an evacuation centre at a pavilion in Winnellie following reports of a disturbance involving a group of males and females.

Security at the location reported that at around 12:30am one guard had allegedly been spat on by a female offender.

Police arrived to find the fighting had ceased and confirmed the incident involved up to five people.

A 22-year old female who left the scene prior to police arrival was identified as the alleged offender.

She returned to the scene at about 2:25am where she was arrested by police for assault.

Assistant Commissioner James A. O’Brien said “We understand it’s a tough time for people having to leave their communities due to recent weather conditions, but this behaviour is unacceptable”.

“Regardless of the situation people are in, alcohol fuelled violence has no place in our society.”

Investigations are ongoing into both incidents and anyone with information including footage is urged to contact police on 131 444.
