A GROUP of five people were violently attacked on the street in Sydney's east early this morning in what witnesses have called a racially motivated attack.
Police said the group of four men, aged 66, 48, 39 and 27 and a 62-year-old woman were walking along Blair Street when they passed a group of eight males about 12.30am.
Police said they were told told the males made derogatory comments towards the group and assaulted them with the melee continuing along Glenayr Avenue until the arrival of officers from the Eastern Suburbs Local Area Command.
The males attempted to flee but officers arrested two 16-year-old males and a 23-year-old man and are questioning them over the alleged anit-Semitic attack.
All five adults were injured suffering concussion, a fractured cheekbone, a possible broken nose, lacerations and bruising.
They were treated at the scene by Ambulance Paramedics and conveyed to St Vincents Hospital.
Adam, 18, who didn't wish to give his surname, said the fight was unprovoked and the teens were yelling anti-Semitic slurs at the group.
"An old bloke who's 68 has been bashed. The guys set upon them for no reason," he said.
A security guard from the Beach Road Hotel intervened in the attack and said a taxi driver helped catch one of the youths.
"A taxi driver drove after the kids and grabbed one of them and held him until the police came," he said.
Oshi from Rap N' Roll was working in his shop when he heard the commotion outside.
"I was working in my shop and heard all this noise and a group of kids were punching this family right out the front so I shut the doors," he said.
Police are continuing to investigate the incident and urge anyone with information to come forward or to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page.
