Gatecrasher with knuckledusters allegedly punched partygoer in head

Dunedin Police are searching for an 18-year-old man who gatecrashed a party, where he damaged property and racially abused and assaulted partygoers.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said the incident happened early yesterday morning, at a Gladstone Rd flat, in North East Valley.

‘‘An 18-year-old female called police after an 18-year-old male gatecrashed their party and was racist to partygoers before being asked to leave.

‘‘He returned to the address and smashed a glass door.

‘‘He then assaulted a male at the party by punching him in the head with knuckledusters.’’

Snr Sgt Bond said the alleged offender was known to police and inquiries were being made to locate him.
