Det Sen Const Wells said the two boys were walking through a reserve between Perry Road and Rosene Court at 10.30pm when they came across a group of three or four males.
Det Sen Const Wells said the boys told police the group attacked them as they walked by.
One of the teenagers was left requiring 20 stitches to a cut in his top lip.
Police believe the group’s members were of Maori or Islander appearance.
