Two arrested after police break up 'hostile' crowd outside Perth party
A 16-year-old boy has been released into the care of his grandmother after he smashed a glass and tried to fight police officers at an out-of-control party on Saturday evening.
Police were called to Andell Place in Redcliffe at around 10pm to attend to reports from neighbours about a group of "noisy and disorderly" people in the street.
When officers arrived, they found about 40 people in the street and yard, yelling and swearing in front of a property.
A 35-year-old man threw a full can at officers, and narrowly missed them.
He was arrested.
However as officers were taking him into custody, the crowd became hostile and started to fight with officers.
Back-up officers were called, and they dispersed the aggressive crowd using personal protective equipment.
During the incident, a 16-year-old boy was arrested for smashing a glass and behaving aggressively towards officers.
He has since been released to his grandmother, and the 35-year-old man remains in custody.
Both will be charged with disorderly conduct.
