Fourteen men who allegedly attacked Police Officers in Levuka on Saturday night have been charged.

They are aged between 20 to 45 years of age and have been charged with various offences such as common nuisance, disobedience of lawful order, serious assault, criminal intimidation, and obstructing a police officer.

They will appear in the Nausori Magistrates Court today.

Three officers had initially attended to a report where 20 men from Nauouo Village, Vatukalo Village, Toki Village, and Waitovu Village were drinking along Beach Street in Levuka Town after 7pm on Saturday.

The officers had asked the men to clear the area but were threatened and chased.

Police say the officers called for backup and more police officers were deployed which also included officers from the National Fire Authority and Fiji Corrections Service.

They say the second attempt made to clear the area resulted in three of the officers sustaining injuries.

The men were then arrested by a Special Response Team deployed from Suva.
