Five men were arrested in Taupō on Tuesday afternoon after several members of the public witnessed a group fighting at the Richmond shops about 1pm.
Police have arrested five of the seven believed to have been involved and continue to make enquires to ensure the other two are put before the court.
One was allegedly armed with a baseball bat and others had a barstool and chair.
The five men aged 18, 21, 29, 30 and 33 are all charged with disorderly behaviour likely to cause violence.
The first are due to appear in Taupō District Court today, while the other three are expected to appear next Wednesday.
