Upper Hutt Police are praising Maoribank community members who did the right thing by calling Police when they saw a family in trouble on Monday 3 June.
Police received several 111 calls from witnesses reporting an aggressive man threatening a mother and children.
One member of the public allowed the woman and children into his property to keep them safe.
Upper Hutt Public Safety Team Sergeant Sam Mercer says the callers described what was happening and where, which enabled Police to get there quickly.
