WARNED: A German freedom camper was spoken to by police after brandishing a knife during a confrontation with a Press photographer. <\/p>\n
Freedom campers are packing up after the Christchurch City Council put up a \"no camping sign\" at the council-owned car park in New Brighton. <\/p>\n
The measure came after a German freedom camper pulled a knife during an argument with a photographer yesterday and a tense week between the group of campers who overtook the car park and New Brighton residents. <\/p>\n
German camper Danilson Dala said he was having breakfast this morning when council staff came and told him and about 20 other campers to leave. <\/p>\n
\"Everyone agreed to leave, it was pretty peaceful,\" he said. <\/p>\n
