Two more teenagers have been charged over an alleged attack on a 14-year-old boy with autism outside a Melbourne school.
Two Reservoir teens, aged 14 and 16, face assault and weapons-related charges after video footage emerged allegedly showing students using a spanner to attack the boy in the city's inner-north on Tuesday afternoon.
The alleged victim, a 14-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons, was taken to hospital with minor injuries after the incident.
A 15-year-old Reservoir boy was also charged on Thursday over the attack.
