Several teenagers have been arrested at a dance party at Sydney's Darling Harbour after two attacked a police officer and others were caught taking drugs and drinking while under the legal age, police say.
The overnight police operation targeted an dance party at Cockle Bay being held during school holidays, as well as the Hay and George Street areas in Sydney's CBD.
Two boys, aged 16 and 17, have been charged with assaulting a police officer after an unprovoked attack on a plain clothes officer who was taking part in a drug dog operation.
They have been released on conditional bail.
A 15-year-old boy has been charged with possessing a prohibited drug and a 17-year-old boy with deemed supply of a prohibited drug after the pair were apprehended during the operation at the dance party.
All four youths are expected to appear in Bidura Children's Court on July 29.
Two girls aged 14 and 15 were taken by ambulance to Sydney Children's Hospital at Randwick after being found highly intoxicated by police, and a 15-year-old had to be taken home by police after he was deemed to be drunk.
A 17-year-old girl was taken to St Vincent's Hospital after a suspected overdose of the drug Gamma hydroxybutrate, also known as GHB.
All eight youths were stopped by police prior to entering the dance party.
In a separate incident, a 17-year-old boy will appear in court after being charged with five offences, including custody of a knife, assault, resisting arrest and offensive behaviour.
