One victim Jeremy Leonard told 9 News his sister invited about 15 of her friends over but the gathering got out of hand.
‘Word’s just got around… gatecrashers, guys causing trouble really,’ he said.
‘It all got a bit out of hand.’
‘There was a kid going through a bunch of girls’ bags… he’s turned aggressive, he’s given me a shove, a punch, then he’s run outside.
‘He and about 10 other mates jumped on my friend, they were kicking and punching him, so I’ve gone in there to stop it and then they turned on me.’
Mr Leonard suffered a black eye and scratches to the face and back in the confrontation.
Police are investigating and have asked for information from the public.
