Two female youths and one adult female have been arrested after they assaulted police while attending the Noonamah Rodeo on Saturday night.
Around 9:10pm, event security apprehended a 17-year-old female who had been denied entry to the event. During the apprehension, a group of youths allegedly approached the officers making demands to release the 17-year-old female.
It is alleged that three members of the group then physically assaulted three of the attending officers with one of the youths throwing a mobile phone, striking one of the officers on the head.
Officers were treated at the scene with no significant injuries reported.
The youth that police were originally dealing with was not involved in the assault.
All three offenders were arrested at the scene with the 18-year-old expected to be charged later today with assault police.
The 16 and 17-year-old youths are expected to be summonsed for the offending at a later date.
Commander David Moore said, "Assaulting a frontline worker who is trying to serve and protect their community is shameful.
"I am glad that no one was seriously injured, and the offenders will face charges for their actions."
