School yard fight sparks violent confrontation with police at Hoxton Park

A FIGHT between two schoolgirls during their lunch break sparked a violent confrontation between parents and police at Hoxton Park High School yesterday.

Green Valley police were called when a large crowd of parents gathered at the school on Wilson Rd about 3pm, leaving many students too scared to catch their buses home.

Chief Inspector Darrin Wilson told the Liverpool Leader a small group of parents turned on police and assaulted them.

“It was as a result of two school children having a blue in the playground during the lunch break,” Chief Inspector Wilson said.

“Unfortunately the parents got involved and police were called.”

Police say they were forced to use capsicum spray to subdue the crowd with several officers injured in the fight.

Six parents were arrested and taken to Green Valley police station.

Later that evening, about 8pm, a large crowd of family and friends gathered at the station in protest.

The group became agitated and, after several unsuccessful attempts at calming the situation, the group was directed to leave.

“They became very emotional due to the fact they believed we were taking too long to process the offenders,” Insp Wilson said.

Insp Wilson would not confirm or deny that a Muslim woman’s veil was removed by police during the confrontation at the school.

Six men and women, aged between 26 and 50, were charged with several offences including affray, intimidation, assaulting police, resisting arrest and offensive language.

They were bailed to face Liverpool Court on April 8.

Police station brawl sparked by 'racist taunts'

A massive brawl following an altercation at a Sydney high school is believed to have started after racist taunts were posted on a student's Facebook page.

The confrontation between a mob of around 40 protesters and police led to Green Valley Police station being put into lockdown on Wednesday.

It is believed the initial altercation between parents and police outside Hoxton Park High School was sparked by racial taunts posted on a student's Facebook page and an attack on a Muslim student, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Police were forced to use capsicum spray on some of the six adults, aged 26 to 50, who were arrested outside the school in Hinchinbrook at 3pm on Wednesday.

Some of those involved told the Daily Telegraph the incident started when a group of Year 9 girls attacked a Muslim girl.

The alleged victim said she was attacked by about 10 "Australian girls" after racist anti-Islamic slurs had been posted on a fellow student's Facebook page.

"I don't know why they chose me. I'm feeling really hurt and worried about what happened," the alleged victim said.

Parents who gathered at the school said it was not the first time such attacks had happened.

Those arrested were taken to Green Valley police station.

But hours later after rumours spread that the attack was racially motivated and police had removed a woman's veil during the confrontation a mob of about 40 protesters descended on the station.

Witnesses said hundreds of youths threw projectiles at police during the stand-off at around 8pm.

The Daily Telegraph reported officers called a police helicopter, the dog squad and riot officers but police would not comment on the altercation.

Police said they told the group to leave the police station after they became agitated and abusive.

The group then gathered outside the station but left a short time later, police said.

Acting Police Superintendent Stephen Corry said it was possible that during the initial incident one of the women's head coverings was removed.

"There was some suggestion ... that a veil had been removed from one of the females ... Naturally, during that arrest there was confrontation and a struggle and that could have easily occurred," he said.

Acting Supt Corry said it's believed a previous incident between students had led to the adults going to the school.

Police said an officer was punched in the face during the initial confrontation outside the school.

"One of the sergeants was punched in the face a couple of times at that scene by one of the males," Acting Supt Corry told Macquarie Radio on Thursday.

"The sergeant's a bit of a tough character ... He gave a couple back too, just in response and defence of himself."

The four women and two men arrested have been charged with offences including affray, intimidation, assaulting police, resisting arrest and offensive language.

They were granted bail, with conditions including that they do not go near or contact the school, and are due to appear at Liverpool Local Court on April 8.

It was only a matter of time, before newly-incited inter-religious-cum racial tensions would boil over in the community...
