Police have arrested a man who has allegedly been spitting at residents in the Auckland suburbs of Devonport and Bayswater.
Waitemat膩 East Area Prevention Manager, acting Inspector Tim Williams, said police were aware of the man鈥檚 actions during the past two months.
鈥淭oday we located a person of interest walking on Wairoa Rd in Narrow Neck and he was promptly arrested.鈥
The man allegedly spat at officers while being arrested.
The 40-year-old Belmont man is due to appear in the North Shore District Court tomorrow.
Williams said the man would face three charges of common assault and one count of resisting police.
鈥淧olice will oppose the man鈥檚 bail when he appears in court given concerns for community safety with this man鈥檚 alleged behaviour,鈥 he said.
鈥淪pitting at people is not only an unhygienic practice but also constitutes an offence.
鈥淚t鈥檚 pleasing that our staff have been able to hold this man accountable.鈥
