An assault on two surf-lifesavers on 4 December, committed by four men of Middle Eastern appearance, was regarded as the primary catalyst for the escalation in violence, although a review by New South Wales Police found that the initial incident was no more significant than other fights between the two groups.A crowd gathered at Cronulla on the morning of Sunday, 11 December, and, by midday, approximately 5,000 people had gathered near the beach. The gathering began peacefully, but later in the afternoon a man of Middle Eastern appearance was surrounded outside a local hotel and attacked by members of the crowd. The police eventually intervened. Several similar attacks took place later in the day, followed by retaliatory attacks that night and on subsequent nights, resulting in extensive property damage. Violence spread to other suburbs, where more assaults occurred, including two stabbings and attacks on ambulance and police officers.The riots were widely condemned by local, state and federal members of parliament, police, local community leaders, and residents of Cronulla and adjacent areas. A large number of arrests were made over the subsequent months, from both the initial riot on 11 December and the retaliations over the subsequent nights. Travel warnings for Australia were issued by some countries but were later removed."@en }
