Bottles and rocks were thrown at police as they tried to break up a party in Safety Bay last night.

A police spokeswoman said officers were called to a disturbance on Warnbro Beach Road around 11.45pm.

They found about 70 young people aged between 16 and 20 outside a home. Police say most of them were intoxicated.

Several people threw bottles and rocks at police.

"It is alleged whilst police were arresting a youth a woman tried to intervene, jumping on an officer’s back," the police spokeswoman said.

"She was restrained and arrested."

An 18-year-old Atwell woman will be summonsed on the charge of Assault a Public Officer.

A 17-year-old Warnbro man will be summonsed on the charges of Damage, Obstruct Police and Disorderly Behaviour.

They will both appear in court at a later date.
