After the alleged assault, police from surrounding areas were called to the scene, including officers from the Public Order and Riot Squad.

Around 30 minutes after he was first arrested, the 17-year-old was taken into police custody again after he allegedly failed to leave the party.

Both teens were taken to Green Valley Police Station and were later released to their parents.

The pair are expected to be dealt with under the Young Offenders Act, police said.
