It is believed the man was one of the main instigators of the fight on Saturday which took 50 police officers to control.

Police say the man is also wanted for a case of alleged assault.

Another individual who was arrested on the day of the incident had an outstanding bench warrant for his arrest for an unrelated break-in charge.
