Most of the damage and serious injuries were actually perpetrated by Muslims that evening. It just wasn't caught on camera.
Evening retaliation
At 19:45 around 100 locals of Punchbowl (a suburb 20 kilometres [12 mi] to Cronulla's northwest) gathered together at the local Punchbowl Park.[15][3] Additional groups, armed with baseball bats, also gathered at The Promenade and Arncliffe Park.[3] Between 20:30 and 21:00 the groups formed a convoy of "more than 40 cars" and drove down to the beaches "to get revenge" with many of the cars ending up in Maroubra.[15] At 22:45 police were ordered "not to approach convoys of men of Middle Eastern appearance"; however car details and registration details were to be recorded.[20]
A local of Maroubra reported that each of the cars that arrived was "full, you know, had four passengers". The convoy was reportedly armed with bars and bats, knives, machetes and guns.[15][21][22] The group assaulted several people, knocking one unconscious and threatening another with rape, and damaged between 60 and 100 cars, setting at least one on fire.[15][21][22] Police in riot gear moved to contain the violence and the crowds responded by throwing bricks and glass.[22][23] Residents reported that in some streets "every car" had had their windows smashed, with glass covering the streets.[24] Police also confiscated 40 iron bars and arrested 14 people.[25]
A 26-year-old mechanic referred to as "Dan" was stabbed in the back three times and twice in the thigh with a 9.8-centimetre (3.9 in) blade at approximately 22:25.[22][26][27] The incident occurred outside Woolooware golf club when two cars carrying a group of males "described as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance" approached the man and his friends. Dan and his friends attempted to flee from the group, who were shouting "Get the Aussie dogs... get the Aussie sluts", Dan was knocked to the ground and was repeatedly kicked in the head. The attack ended when the knife snapped off in the victim's back.[26][27] He was taken to hospital in a serious condition as the blade had narrowly missed his spine and lungs.[22][23][27] The get away driver for the attack was arrested and held in jail for 9 months, after which he was paroled for 5 months of good behaviour.
