A teenager has been charged after an alleged assault in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant in Melbourne’s outer west.
Police arrested two teen boys on Wednesday and cautioned another two after the incident on Doherty’s Road, Truganina at 4pm on May 26.
A boy is seen being threatened with a machete.
“During the incident a machete is alleged to have been produced,” Victoria Police said in a statement on Thursday night.
“The two victims, both 15-year-olds from the Wyndham area, were not injured.”
Several videos obtained by The Age appear to show a teen in a blue shirt brawling with another teen in a yellow shirt, and a third boy holding a large blade to the throat of the boy in the blue shirt.
“One of the boys has been charged with aggravated burglary, theft of motor vehicle, false imprisonment, produce child abuse material, assault with a weapon and possessing a controlled weapon,” said police in their statement.
Footage of the incident was posted on social media on Thursday night.
“He was bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date. A second boy is expected to be charged on summons.”
The incident took place around 24 hours after Preston’s Northland shopping centre was placed into lockdown, after rival gangs chased each other through the complex with machetes.
