Police told The Courier-Mail the incident in Merry St, Bulimba, involved “a number of male teenagers” but could not confirm the exact number.
One of the teenagers involved, a 17-year-old from Nudgee College, suffered facial injuries.
After being hurt, he went to a nearby house and contacted police.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesman said no ambulances were called to the incident.
A St Joseph’s Nudgee College spokeswoman said that the families were handling the matter privately so could not comment further.
A spokeswoman from the other college said they could not provide comment as it was not a school matter.
Police declined to provide further information as the investigation was going.
