A group of asylum seekers has been taken to hospital following a disturbance overnight involving up to 60 people at a Darwin detention facility.
Police remained at the Darwin Airport Lodge for more than three hours following an incident about 9pm Saturday night (local time).
Six people received treatment for non-life threatening injuries but three were released from hospital soon after.
The Immigration Department says police will determine if any criminal offences have been committed.
A spokeswoman says there will be an investigation into the incident.
