Two 15-year-old boys and two girls, 14 and 15, were arrested following the incident. They were charged with public intoxication, obstructing police, theft under $5000, and assaulting police officers.
The injured boy was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and the two assaulted police officers also sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
