Northern Territory Police have responded to a disturbance at a remote community in the Tiwi Islands last night.
At 9:00pm, police responded to a report of up to 100 people armed with a variety of edged weapons.
Police dispersed the crowd with a number of individuals treated at the local clinic for minor injuries.
Commander Kylie Anderson said "This behaviour is completely unacceptable. The incident resulted in a number of people requiring medical treatment and was witnessed by children in the area.
"Alcohol fuelled violence will not be tolerated and police will continue to hold offenders to account. The community as a whole needs to stand up and say enough is enough."
