A police media spokesman confirmed there had been problems at Maroubra beach, following the near-riot at Cronulla beach earlier today.
"There have been a number of incidents of property damage in the past hour-and-a-half that included broken windows and damage to motor vehicles," he said.
Reports on radio station 2GB indicated up to 50 vehicles with passengers armed with "baseball bats" had been causing trouble in Maroubra, in Sydney's east.
Police have set up a command post in the area, 2GB reported.
Sky News reported that a group of people in cars and with baseball bats, bits of wood and stakes, had "slammed every single car" in some streets.
"The windows were smashed out", one report said.
One eyewitness reported every car in a section of Maroubra Road had had their windows and windscreens smashed, and glass was littering the road.
In Wride Street, a group of 50 local people chased after the offenders on foot before disappearing into units in the area.
An eyewitness said one man, believed to be of Maori or Polynesian descent, was "bleeding profusely" and taken in by locals.
There were also reports of crowd trouble at beachside suburbs of Kyeemagh and Brighton Le Sands, in Sydney's south.
We can "thank" previous Labor (socialist) Governments for this!
Could you give a brief background on the issue(s) at hand here?
/My appreciation in anticipation. (:-)
It has a fair bit to do with Middle Eastern gangs raping, bashing and otherwise running amok in Sydney. Today's events I gather are a direct result of such an assault on lifeguards last Sunday.
Mind you, some of the local Muslim leaders have not endeared themselves to Aussies by speaking highly of jihad and terrorism.
Sort of like the Paki-bashing in London during the Punk music era? At least then the mohammedans kept their mouth shut about jihad, not anymore. Oh well, back to the rioting.
If the Aussie cricket team is anything represntative of the average Aussie's attitude, the mussies are in a fair bit of trouble I can say...(:D)
The anglo saxon world finally rising against the farce that was multiculturalism, eh? 'Bout time, methinks.
Interesting. Will the legacy media even cover this story. We got lots of coverage about the French riots.
Liberal immigration policies coming home to roost.
I think you'll find this is a result of LABOR immigration policies, in particular those of the Hawke and Keating governments.
Then, am I correct in assuming that the window bashing is being carried out by native Aussies against immigrant Mohammedans?
From what I'm hearing tonight, the window bashing is Muslim reprisal after the anti-Muslim activities by Aussies earlier in the day.

From the article:
Police have been pushed, pelted with beer bottles and had their patrol cars stomped on as violence worsens at Sydney's Cronulla Beach.
Racial tension turned to violence today as at least 5000 angry people converged on the beach after simmering anger and disputes between beach users flared last week.
Mounted police and other units are maintaining a heavy presence at the beach today after two rival groups used text messages to urge attacks on each other.
Some of the text messages encouraged people to carry out vigilante style attacks, and some message had racial undertones.
One of the messages had urged "Aussies" to take revenge against "Lebs and wogs". Another urged locals to rally at points on the beach today to take retaliation against "Middle-Eastern" gangs.
As the crowd moved along the beach and foreshore area today, one man on the back of a ute began to shout "No more Lebs" - a chant picked up by the group around him.
Others in the crowd, carrying Australian flags and dressed in Australian shirts, yelled "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ... Oi, Oi, Oi".
North Cronulla Beach, in Sydney's south, was the scene of two violent incidents last week - an attack on two lifesavers on Sunday and a brawl later in the week in which youths turned on a media crew.
Go Aussies! You must not give in to these subhumans.
They could not be muslims that are doing this because we all know that islam is the religion of peace.
I think they're finding out their particular brand of "peace" is not welcome here...
You folks have certainly had your troubles with your 'recent' immigrants.
It doesn't surprise me that the backlash against the Mohammedan's cultural smugness would have started with the Aussies.
You have to protect yourself. It is a fact that the Government can't/won't.
Always remember that you are all you can depend on to protect yourself and your family from the barbarians.
Just like the US, we have a big problem with much of our judiciary. They simply don't believe in justice.
RULE Australia Fair....and have a 4X Bitter on me while you're up and about..actually, have another one for me.
Are baseball bats about to be banned in Oz?
(It's a good thing the locals don't have guns. They might have stopped the riots on the spot.)
