Two arrested over Queensland school brawl

A man and a teenager are in custody following a brawl in front of students outside a Gold Coast school.

A Queensland Police spokesman said few details about the incident were available, but confirmed the pair were in custody after a fight involving several people at the Pacific Pines High School as students headed home.

Police earlier said a man armed with a bat assaulted a staff member before running off into nearby bushland just after 3pm on Tuesday.

The staff member was not seriously injured, but a 17-year-old boy was taken to hospital in a stable condition after suffering a wrist injury.

No charges have been laid.
