Police arrested five young men allegedly armed with baseball bats and a machete after terrified students were assaulted and some injured by flying glass in a window-smashing rampage at a Sydney school today.
The attack took place at Merrylands High School in Sherwood Road, Merrylands, in Sydney’s west.
An Ambulance Service of NSW spokesman said one student was later admitted to Westmead Children’s Hospital for treatment of a “minor facial injury”.
A teacher was also taken to Westmead Hospital with bruising to the back of the head.
“We’ve assessed 18 school-aged children … all having minor injuries, some lacerations, some bruising and they’re obviously quite anxious about what has happened,” the ambulance spokesman said.
Is there any indication as to the ethnicity of the attackers?
