Four people were injured on Sunday evening in a fight involving more than 10 people near San Ġorg Preca School in Hamrun.
Police were alerted at about 6.15pm.
People on the scene said it appeared that a man and a woman were assaulted in what appears to be a fight between two families and several people joined the fight 'in no time'.
Another two young women were also hurt.
A car was extensively damaged after it was hit - possibly rammed - by another car which then reversed and drove off. The driver was later traced.
A number of persons are being questioned by police.
A member of one of the families involved in the fight was murdered a few months ago.
