POLICE officers suffered minor injuries after a fight broke out in a crowd of around 50 people in Ballyclare, Co Antrim.
The melee happened just after 3am on Sunday in Main Street.
A PSNI spokesman said after arresting a 23-year-old man on suspicion of a number of offences, the crowd became "hostile towards police".
CS spray was used to restrain a 36-year-old man who was subsequently arrested.
He was released, pending report.
The 23-year-old remains in custody and police have appealed for information.
