They are aged between 20 to 45 years and have been charged with various offences such as common nuisance, disobedience of lawful order, serious assault, criminal intimidation, and obstructing a police officer.
The officers had asked the men to clear the area but were threatened and chased.
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.
