Two paramedics were injured as they tried to get youths of Middle Eastern appearance out of Cronulla Surf Lifesaving Club, where they had fled to escape one group. The mob broke the vehicle’s windows and kicked its doors as it attempted to get the group out. Police, who used capsicum spray and batons in their battle to quell the rioters, were also pelted with beer bottles. Some groups in the crowd, estimated to have peaked at 5000, also stomped on and swarmed around police cars trying to move from one violent flare-up to the next. The trouble began with scuffles about midday after thousands of people, many carrying Australian flags and dressed in Australian shirts, rallied at the beach. As the crowd moved along the beach and foreshore area yesterday, one man on the back of a ute began to shout “No more Lebs” — a chant picked up by the group around him. Others in the crowd, carrying Australian flags and dressed in Australian shirts, yelled “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie . . . Oi, Oi, Oi”. Many had adorned their bodies with racist slogans.A man is arrested at Cronulla Beach after tensions erupted into running battles between police and a mob of thousands of youths. One shirtless teenager walked by, this message painted on his back: “It’s time for a fucking war, so join the army of hardcore”.
