A violent tirade of abuse unleashed by former All Black Jerry Collins at terrified staff in a Chinese takeaway has been captured on tape.
Collins threatened workers at Noodle Canteen in Wellington's Courtenay Place this month over the time they took to prepare his order.
Wellington police communications manager Nick Bohm said officers arrested Collins about 10.20pm after a complaint from the Noodle Canteen.
He was held at Wellington police station for detox and trespassed from the Noodle Canteen premises at the request of the manager.
He said police could revisit the case if more information came to hand.
"Like any complaint we receive, we'll assess any new information we receive."
The incident at the Noodle Canteen came about 16 hours after Collins abused staff at Wellington Hospital's emergency department.
Collins' agent Tim Castle did not respond to requests for comment.
Collins was arrested in Japan this year for possessing 17cm knives in a department store. He claimed he was being hunted by a Brazilian gang, and was released after spending 10 days in police custody.
