Northern Territory Police have arrested a 19 year-old male following multiple assaults on security staff at a Darwin Shopping Centre this afternoon.
Just before 1pm NT Police responded to reports that three males and one female were creating a disturbance in the shopping centre food court.
When the group were approached by security staff it is alleged one of the offenders threatened a guard with an edged weapon.
Another security guard allegedly had another edged weapon thrown at him and another was assaulted with a chair.
The offenders then assaulted another guard at a liquor store before stealing alcohol.
None of the victims’ physical injuries required treatment.
Detective Senior Sergeant Karl Day said “the offenders are no longer a danger to the public at the shopping centre.”
“One arrest has been made and if anyone has any information about the incident I urge them to call police on 131 444 and quote number 10490240.”
