Girl, 13, 2 others, charged with assaulting police officer and security guard
Brisbane AU Oct 1 2018
A 13-year-old girl is among three people charged with the assault of a security guard at a Brisbane CBD shopping centre.
Police were called to the QueensPlaza building at about 8pm last night after a 30-year-old woman and two teens became involved in a scuffle with a guard.
Witnesses told 9NEWS the brawl began when the guard asked the woman, a 16-year-old boy and the 13-year-old girl to leave.
The group became agitated and allegedly attacked the guard before two more centre employees and onlookers became involved.
Confronting video shows the guard appearing to fend off blows from the teens.
“There was a bit of a fight, a struggle to hold them down,” witness Kell Reese told 9NEWS.
“The young boy, he had three security guards and the police officers on him.”
Police allege the 13-year-old girl also assaulted an officer who had arrived to break up the melee.
The trio has been barred from the shopping centre and will appear in court next month.
