Police allege that at 4.30pm on Saturday, October 19, a 16-year-old boy was working in a store on Charles Street when a group entered and assaulted him, before fleeing on foot.
The boy was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital with a cut on his head, facial bruising and swelling.
Last Monday, officers from Parramatta Police Area Command investigating the incident, arrested four teenaged boys at homes in South Granville, Parramatta, Birrong and Northmead.
A 14-year-old and 17-year-old were each charged with reckless wounding and affray and a 15-year-old and 17-year-old were charged with affray.
On Tuesday, a 14-year-old boy was also arrested at a home in Auburn and charged with wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, affray and reckless wounding.
The following day, a 21-year-old man was arrested at Parramatta Police Station and charged with affray and reckless wounding, with two more boys, both aged 15, also arrested on Thursday.
One, from Carlingford, has been charged with affray, while the other from Wentworthville was charged with affray and reckless wounding.
Inquiries into the incident are continuing.
Killer Milat dies in jail
ONE of Australia’s most notorious serial killers Ivan Milat has died in prison in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Born in Guildford, the 74-year-old was diagnosed with terminal stomach and oesophagal cancer in May this year.
He was convicted in 1996 of the murder of seven backpackers after their bodies were discovered between 1992 and 1993 buried in shallow graves in the Belanglo State Forest.
They were Victorians Deborah Everist and James Gibson, both 19, Germans Simone Schmidl, 21, Anja Habschied, 20, and Gabor Neugebauer, 21, and British pair Caroline Clarke, 21, and Joanne Walters, 22.
Also linked to several unsolved missing person cases, Milat continued to deny that he’d committed any of the murders.
