Five teenage girls have been arrested following the alleged assault of four school teachers in Tarneit on Tuesday.
It’s alleged the girls attended a Leakes Road school in relation to an ongoing issue with a student at about 3.50pm on August 22.
Four teachers were allegedly assaulted while trying to protect the student.

One 19-year-old female was charged with affray and bailed to appear at Werribee Magistrates Court on 8th January 2024.
The four other youths, all from Tarneit, are expected to be charged on summons with affray and unlawful assault.
