Officers arrested a 16-year-old boy at a medical centre in Clayton soon after.<\/p>\n

He has been charged with a number of offences including intentionally causing injury, assault with weapon, theft and committing an offence while on bail.<\/p>\n

He was remanded in custody to appear at a children’s court at a later date.<\/p>\n

Some workers in the centre received an email from centre management informing them of the incident, advising them additional security would be brought in as a precaution and that there would be more police patrols in the centre.<\/p>\n
