Police Inundate Beaches in Wake of Racial Riots
Police outnumbered bathers on many Sydney beaches in an effort to prevent more of the racial rioting that hit Australia’s largest city last weekend.
More than 2,000 police in patrol cars, dinghies, planes and helicopters and on bicycles and horseback kept a close eye on potential trouble spots a week after more than 5,000 mainly white youths fought in a series of skirmishes with police and attacked people of Arab appearance.
At Bondi Beach, normally busy restaurants and bars – and the sand – were nearly empty.
