Two teens have been charged over an attack on a pair of WA policemen that landed one officer in hospital with a concussion.

Police were originally called over a group of youths behaving disorderly, smashing bottles and drinking alcohol near the Madora Bay lookout at 7pm on Saturday.

Some of the teens moved on to a Lakelands home, where they turned on police.
