Five injured in anti-semitic Sydney brawl

FIVE people are in hospital after a brawl sparked by anti-semitic insults erupted in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

A group of four men, aged 66, 48, 39 and 27, and a 62-year-old woman was walking along Blair Street in Bondi at 12.30am (AEDT) on Saturday when eight young males, some of whom were teenagers, shouted "derogatory comments" towards them, NSW Police said in a statement.

The eight then allegedly physically assaulted the group and a melee played out along Glenayr Avenue until police arrived.

All five in the older group were injured, suffering concussion, a fractured cheekbone, possible broken nose, lacerations and bruising.

They were taken to St Vincent's Hospital.

Police said the alleged offenders tried to flee but officers arrested three males not far from the fight.

Two 17-year-olds were charged with affray and breach of bail.

They were refused bail to appear at children's court on Sunday.

A 23-year-old man was charged with affray.

He was granted bail to appear at Waverley Local Court on December 3.

Federal frontbencher and local MP Malcolm Turnbull criticised the apparent racist attack.

"Violence of this kind and in particular racist violence, anti-semitic violence, is completely unacceptable in our society," he told the Nine Network.

"We should have zero tolerance."

Meanwhile NSW Anti-Discrimination Board president Stepan Kerkyasharian said the board would investigate.

"There's been severe racial vilification here, that's a term under the legislation, and I think we should look at taking action," he told Channel Seven.
