On Saturday, police were confronted by a “large-scale disturbance” involving up to 80 people.
Mr Murphy said officers were allegedly assaulted as they tried to disperse the crowd.
“That subsequently led to the (alleged) assault of four off-duty police who were walking home,” Mr Murphy said.
During their walk, the four off-duty police officers – three women and a man – were allegedly approached from behind by a group of about 20 male youths who proceeded to assault them.
One of the female off-duty officers was pulled to the ground and had her bag allegedly stolen.
Another woman was allegedly punched in the face and kicked before her mobile phone was taken.
The male off-duty officer was also punched and kicked.

Attacked by the very niggers they let go, treat with kid's gloves, and let rape/steal/murder with near-impunity.
Good.
