A violent incident broke out at Elm Park Primary School during a party, involving a large group wielding knives. Two individuals, aged 16 and 19, were stabbed but their injuries are not considered life-threatening. Superintendent Simon Hutchinson noted that police were outnumbered but managed to prevent a more serious situation. Multiple arrests were made, including three teenagers at the scene and others later for possession of weapons. Hutchinson stressed the importance of holding accountable those responsible for putting the community in danger, assuring that measures are in place for any future incidents.
During the initial confrontation, four of my officers were injured but were still able to prevent this incident from becoming significantly more serious. They showed tremendous bravery confronting this group despite the numbers and level of potential violence.
I want to be clear that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated. I believe my team will identify the instigators responsible for this disorder and ensure they are held accountable.
