Police were called to the family friendly Hillarys Marina water park in Perth about 3.40pm on Monday where they were confronted by the gang.

A witness named Geoff said when police arrived the officers had objects thrown at them, were spat at and shoved.

‘They were on the waterpark, and they wouldn’t get off for about an hour and the police were called,’ he told Mornings on 6PR.

‘As the police were trying to take down their names, they started spitting at police, swearing at them and shoving the police.

‘My brother ended up ringing Triple Zero to try and get more police there because we were actually quite frightened for the police.’

A teenager was pepper sprayed by police and was seen laying on the ground while other members were tackled to the floor. 

Seven teenagers were arrested over the ‘out of control gathering’.  

Police said anti-social behaviour would not be tolerated at family-friendly spots and are seeking more vision of the incident.
