FIFTEEN people have been charged for rioting outside a police station in a far north Queensland indigenous community.
Police say the disturbance began at a shop in Aurukun then spread to the local police station on Monday after a local man was taken into custody.
It has been alleged police tasered the man during a riot at the general store.
Rocks were then allegedly hurled at the police station and vehicles, so police had to call in reinforcements from Cairns and Thursday Island.
A 33-year-old man has been charged with serious assault, assaulting police, obstructing police and causing a public nuisance.
He is expected to reappear at the Cairns Magistrates Court on Thursday.
A further twelve men and two teenage boys have been charged with a range of offences, including rioting while armed, wilful damage of police property, serious assault of police while armed, wilful damage and for entering premises and committing an indictable offence by breaking and entering.
Six men are due to appear at the Cairns Magistrates Court on Friday.
The remaining men are due to appear at the Aurukun Magistrates Court on October 14.
The two boys, both aged 15, are to be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act.
