There were cordons behind the Paremata shopping area after a man was stabbed.
“Investigations have determined that the altercation involved rival gang members,” Middlemiss said.
Four were due to appear in Porirua District Court on Wednesday afternoon and three will be handled by the juvenile justice system.
Middlemiss said police were still looking for other people believed to be involved and were looking for a man who he believed could help with the police investigation.
