Teens charge police
August 7, 2010 - 12:59PM
Two police needed hospital treatment and more than a dozen teenagers ended up in custody when a birthday party advertised online got out of control near Canberra
Police from across the capital converged on the "dangerously overcrowded" party at Gungahlin, in Canberra's north, a largely a quiet dormitory suburb filled with medium density housing.
But on Friday night it erupted after the 16th birthday party had been advertised online, police said.
"Party organisers could not control the crowd and a decision was made to close the party and disperse the gathering," an ACT Policing statement said.
"Additional resources were requested to assist."
But the police were unable to break up the party attended by more than 200 young people at the local scout hall.
"A number of partygoers appeared intent on provoking violence against police, the statement said.
At one point a group of up to 30 teenagers charged police, forcing officers to defend themselves and their vehicles.
During the melee, two officers were injured.
One officer fell to the ground and was repeatedly kicked in the back while another suffered a shoulder injury.
Both were taken to hospital with 13 teenagers taken into custody for a range of offences.
"Investigations are continuing into the identity of the offenders who assaulted, resisted and incited violence against police at the party," the police said.
"This party was inadequately supervised, allowing a large group of underage persons to consume large amounts of alcohol and no planning was made in relation to getting people home," said Acting Superintendent Andrew Bailey.
Police are expected to lay charges.

本周五晚，首都堪培拉附近，一场通过网络召集的生日派对引发警民冲突。两名警员受伤住院治疗，十几名派对参加者被警方拘留。
从整个首都地区调集的多名警察部署在聚会现场附近。聚会地点是在堪培拉北部的Gungahlin，该地区人口密度不大，环境静谧。但是周五的生日聚会打破了这个小区往日的安静。
因为参加聚会的人数过多，场面一度失控，聚会组织者最终不得不决定终止聚会。现场维持秩序的警察不断要求警力增援。尽管这样，警察还是无法疏散聚集在青少年活动中心的超过两百名的青少年。
有些聚会的参加者对警察进行攻击，迫使警察不得不采取措施进行人身保护。冲突中，一名警察被打倒在地，并且被人围攻。另外一名警察肩部受伤。这两名警员被送往医院进行救治。警察最终拘留了十三名聚会参加者。对这次暴力活动的煽动者和参与者的调查仍然在继续。
警署主管Andrew Bailey说:“这次聚会没有足够的监管措施，大量未成年人消费了酒精饮料。并且没有人员疏散计划。”
警方会起诉相关的责任人。
