Footage taken by students appeared to show one of the men smashing a glass door during the incident.

Teachers at Sevenoaks Senior College tried to intervene, pushing the pair away until they eventually ran away.

Police were called a short time later.

WA Premier Mark McGowan said the alleged incident was "totally and utterly inappropriate".

"Teachers should be able to go to school, students should be able to go to school without those things occurring," he said.

A 21-year-old man has now been charged over the alleged incident.
