Gang Fills Street and Assaults Man Unprovoked in West Auckland
November 5, 2022
Mugisho is an experienced electrician and community leader. He is vice president of the Okapi Alliance of New Zealand, a charity established by and for migrants and former refugees from the Congo.
Late on Friday he was dropped home to Palmer Ave, a cul-de-sac opposite Waikumete Cemetery, after visiting a friend’s house.
The street was full of patched gang members.
Mugisho said they did not live in Palmer Ave and he did not know why they were there.
He began to speak with one of the men, who was friendly enough in a brief conversation, Mugisho said.
Then out of the blue another man approached him and punched him in the head for no reason, he said.
