About 30 people were involved in the fight which erupted on Saturday just before midnight.

Victoria Police used capsicum spray to break up the brawl but a number of smaller fights then broke out including one on a platform which caused trains to be halted for about five minutes.

Two West Meadows men - one aged in his 20s and the other in his late teens - and a Reservoir man, also in his 20s, were arrested for assaulting police while two others were arrested for being drunk.
