Two of the males were armed with machetes.
An 18-year-old St Albans man was taken to hospital with a suspected stab wound to the arm.
An 18-year-old Sunshine North man, a 17-year-old Braybrook boy and 18-year-old Deer Park man were arrested at the scene.
The Sunshine North man was released pending further inquiries and the Deer Park man was released with intent to summons.
Police believe the parties were known to one another.
The 17-year-old boy has been charged with various assault and weapons charges.
He has been bailed and is due to appear at a children’s court at a later date.
