An 18-year-old has been arrested over an assault on an elderly man at an Auckland Pak'nSave.

The 74-year-old asked a group to stop throwing food and was punched in the face.

The elderly man suffered a broken nose.

"A very upsetting incident occurred at our Pak'nSave Clendon store," a company spokeswoman told NZME. "An elderly gentleman was attacked by a group of youths who were in the process of deliberately damaging stock on shelf."

Police say the man handed himself in following public scrutiny in the media.
