Teenagers armed with batons triggered Adelaide Westfield lockdown

Youths armed with expandable batons triggered a major police response at an Adelaide shopping centre, which was placed into lockdown. Shoppers at the Westfield Marion Centre in Adelaide were urged to stay away from the area on Sunday afternoon. South Australia Police Assistant Commissioner Scott Duvall said police were called to the scene after 2:52 pm when police received reports of two groups of teenage boys fighting in the food court, including some armed with expandable batons.

" The teenagers involved in the incident have yet to be located but police said they were "confident" the groups would be tracked down. A 77-year-old woman suffered a shoulder injury while fleeing the centre and another person in their 30s suffered a knee injury, South Australia Ambulance Service said. One of the patients was being transferred to the Flinders Medical Centre for treatment and paramedics remained at the shopping centre, a spokesman said.
