After his Snapchat invitation to fight was declined, a man attempted another method to goad a youth into a confrontation.

Police were called to an Ashmore St, Halfway Bush house in Dunedin on Friday after a resident reported someone throwing rocks at his house.

The alleged rock thrower was known to the youth, as he had declined a request sent over Snapchat earlier to fight.

It was believed the rocks were an attempt to get him to come outside for a fight, Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said.
