Teachers caught up in after-school brawl in Tarneit

A young woman allegedly involved in a vicious attack on a student at a western suburbs school, where four teachers were caught in the crossfire, has fronted court.

Amgok Ayiik, 20 appeared in Werribee Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday after she was charged with affray following an incident at a school in Melbourne’s west last year.

On August 22, five teen girls confronted a student before allegedly unleashing a brutal assault on the girl after the school bell.

Footage of the alleged assault, which circulated online, showed a number of teachers attempting to intervene and protect the victim before they too were hit among the brawl.
