Police were called to Marsden Park about 9:40pm on Friday.

Due to the number of people, officers directed the party be shut down.

A short time later police, with help from members of the public, arrested a 17-year-old boy.

He was taken to Mount Druitt Police Station where he was charged with reckless wounding and possession of a prohibited drug.

There were no other reports of injuries or damage to property.

The boy was refused bail and is due to appear in the children's court on Saturday.
