ARTICLE SNIPPET: "FIVE men accused of being involved in a wild attack on media outside a Melbourne court were arrested today and charged with offences including assault and affray.

The men, who are relatives and friends of alleged terror group members, were released on bail after a brief appearance in Melbourne Magistrates' Court.

They are accused of an unprovoked attack on news photographers and cameramen who were filming them leaving court last Tuesday.

They were at the court to support nine men charged with being members of a terrorist group.

Abdul Sayadi, 24, of Brunswick, Nasser Raad, 27, of North Coburg, Monzer Ramadan, 28, of Coburg, Majed Raad, 21, of Coburg, and Bassam Raad, 24, of Meadow Heights, appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court after being arrested by police this morning.

Each has been charged with affray and assault.

Sayadi, Nasser Raad and Ramadan have also been charged with behaving in a riotous manner.

Senior Detective Dale Fitzgerald told the court a large media contingent followed the five men as they left the court last Tuesday and an altercation took place between a Seven Network cameraman, Sayadi and Ramadan.

As this occurred they attacked the cameraman and the other three men joined in the "unprovoked" assault, he said.

He said two Seven cameramen suffered injuries and one was punched in the face.

The prosecution did not oppose bail for the men, including the condition they surrender their passports to police within 24 hours."
