- Police charged a second 15-year-old with one count of acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm, refused bail, and expect him to appear in Cairns Children's Court.
- Officers arrested another 15-year-old in nearby Kanimbla about 30 minutes after the Cairns attack and say he is assisting with inquiries.
- At the Islamic College of Brisbane a teenage boy was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a potentially life‑threatening condition and a 16-year-old is assisting police.
