A teenage boy found himself at the center of a frightening incident after an end-of-year school party spiraled out of control, resulting in him being stabbed.

The gathering, held at a Brisbane residence, quickly turned chaotic as up to 100 uninvited guests crashed the event. The revelry, fueled by alcohol, soon spilled onto the streets, creating scenes of disorder.

Oriel Road in Clayfield, located in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, was transformed into a hub of emergency activity. Flashing lights and the presence of numerous emergency vehicles marked the unsettling turn of events as the party descended into turmoil.

According to witness Jarrah Lloyd, the streets were teeming with “a couple hundred kids” when she arrived home at 9 p.m. She noted that many of them appeared to be heavily intoxicated, contributing to the chaotic atmosphere.

Despite the upheaval, authorities commended the proactive measures taken by the parents hosting the party. They had wisely registered the event with the police in advance, yet the presence of gatecrashers—who had discovered the party details via social media—proved difficult to manage.

“The parents cancelled the party and asked all those people to leave, and that’s what caused the large congregation of students and teenagers out on the street,” Chief Inspector Karl Hahne said.

Dozens of teenagers ended up on the streets, where the 16-year-old boy was stabbed in the back.

“It went on for a couple of hours, sort of ramped up, got louder and louder as the evening went on, and then started to hear bangs and screaming,” nearby resident Olivia Dean-Jones said.

Police say the teen had surgery and his injuries were not life threatening.

Police dogs were sent out this morning to search for the weapon investigators believe was used in the attack.

Beer bottles and cans have been left in gutters and on nature strips, as well as canisters of nitrous oxide, known as “nangs”.
