A SunLive reader at the scene say they saw a fight happening on Maunganui Road.

"There were about eight gang members. They headed onto the road creating conflict with another gang," says the SunLive reader.

"They had hidden a machete used in the fight in a rubbish bin as well as using some road signs to smash a ute's windows in as well.

"Other witnesses stated they heard gunshots and bullet holes in the ute too but this was towed before I could confirm."

Police say enquiries are ongoing.
