Police have charged three men following a brawl on the Central Coast last week.
About 2.35pm on Tuesday (1 September 2020), a group of teenage boys were approached by another group of males – allegedly armed with baseball bats and machetes – outside a shopping centre on Bryant Drive, Tuggerah.
It's further alleged the armed group chased the others before a brawl occurred between the groups – it's unknown if anyone was injured.
Officers from Tuggerah Lakes Police District attended shortly after and both groups dispersed.

Then about 1.50pm the same day, officers attended a Wyong home and arrested two teenage boys – aged 16 and 18.
All three were taken to Wyong Police Station.
