Hamilton gang fight

Ambulance workers in the heart of Hamilton city have been ordered to don stab-proof vests while on the job today, following reports of a scheduled gang ...

That’s just tragically sad for our city that people would want three neighbourhoods to come together and harm each other,” she said. Melville Junior Rugby club put out a statement on their social media acknowledging a number of kids in the community catch buses to and from school at the location of the fight. Hamilton mayor Paula Southgate told the Herald on Thursday she was “shocked and disgusted” to hear about the organised fight and called the poster “incredibly confronting”. The vests are designed to provide stab, slash and light ballistic protection, to offer “an additional layer of protection” to staff in the rare instance it’s called for. In a description littered with spelling and grammatical errors, the flyer tells members to meet at the depot before continuing the fight “around town”. St John confirmed to the Herald that all ambulance staff working within Hamilton City boundaries have been issued lightweight tactical vests “in light of the event this afternoon”.
