The 16-year-old girl was transported to Gold Coast University Hospital with non life-threatening injuries and has since been released.

Two Southport girls, aged 16 and 17, have been charged with one count each of assault occasioning bodily harm while intoxicated and affray in a public place while intoxicated.

A 16-year-old Coomera boy has been charged with one count each of assault occasioning bodily harm and affray.

All three are due to appear in Southport Childrens Court on April 17.

Any witnesses or anyone with relevant information is urged to contact police.

Investigations by the Gold Coast Child Protection Investigation Unit with the assistance of Taskforce Guardian and Digital Intelligence and Community Engagement are ongoing.
