The incident had involved one member of the Mongrel Mob and two members of the Epitaph Riders motor-cycle gang, said Inspector M. K. J. Tarling, of the Christchurch police. The member of the Mongrel Mob had been injured, and the two other men had been charged with assault. said Inspector Tarling. Inspector Tarling said yesterday that the incident had been discussed with all three, gangs. He was satisfied that they were treating it as an isolated incident from which there would be no repercussions from gang members.
