A 15-year-old boy has been charged with assault with a weapon after a staff member was injured at a Youth Justice facility in Auckland.
A police spokesperson said they were called to a residential facility on Kiwi Tamaki Road in Wiri about 7.30pm on Sunday, following reports of an assault.
Auckland's Korowai Manaaki Youth Justice residence is on the road.
Oranga Tamariki acting deputy chief executive youth justice services and residential care Neil Beales earlier confirmed a staff member sustained minor injuries from the incident.
The youth was expected to appear in the Manukau District Court on Monday.
