A 33-year-old man has been arrested following an assault near a Sikh Temple in Takanini late yesterday afternoon. The incident occurred at a sports complex on the grounds at around 5pm. Detective Senior Sergeant Simon Taylor, of Counties Manukau CIB, says the man presented on site and was taken into custody this afternoon.

Police are continuing to carry out reassurance patrols around the temple.
