SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- Five teenagers brandishing baseball bats and a machete rampaged through a school in Sydney on Monday, smashing windows, terrorizing students and hitting a teacher over the head, police said. Eighteen other people were slightly hurt.
The five, between the ages of 14 and 16, were arrested after storming into suburban Merrylands High School and would likely be charged with assault and other crimes, Police Detective Inspector Jim Stewart said.
The offenses carry penalties up to seven years in prison.
One teacher was treated at a hospital after being hit on the head with a bat when he tried to stop the attackers, and 18 students were treated for cuts from broken glass and other minor injuries, Stewart said.
"It beggars belief they would attempt this kind of activity against innocent students," Stewart said.
Police were questioning the suspects -- who were not identified because they are minors -- about their reasons for the attack, including whether they were looking for someone in particular.
