One of the 17-year-olds was taken to the North West Regional Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after an “altercation” between the youths.
The alleged offender, a 15-year-old boy, presented himself to the Burnie Police Station on January 2 and has since been charged with Criminal Code Assault.
He will appear in the Burnie Magistrates Court at a later date.
All four teenagers involved were known to each other, police said.
