A 17-year-old girl was knocked unconscious during one fight and she was taken to John Hunter Hospital.
Resident Jayde Lynne said the girl had been knocked unconscious from being punched and was having ‘convulsions’.
‘Me and my mum had to hold in recovery and call the ambulance, she wasn’t breathing and lucky when we did! Pretty scary!’
She is still in hospital in a stable condition, according to police.
Police said they used capsicum spray to disperse the crowd and the dog unit was also called in.
One witness said at least ’30 police, three ambulances, the dog squad and riot squad’ were called.
The party had allegedly been going for an hour before brawls erupted.
‘It was a massive party, the party didn’t last long so many boys were fighting it’s ridiculous,’ one neighbour said according to news.com.au.
