Around 8.50am police responded to the call with about six police cars arriving outside the premises, while neighbouring residents watched on from the street.
The youth has been charged with assault, armed with intent, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, with a court date yet to be fixed.
After a weekend of alcohol-fuelled violence in the troubled estate, police have increased patrols in and around the CBD, Apollo estate and West Dubbo.
