Portal talk:Australia/2005 Sydney race riots

A romantic midnight picnic turned into a violent attack early Sunday morning, February 12, 2006. A young couple were celebrating their first anniversary with a champagne picnic near Mrs. McQuarrie's chair when the young man was suddenly attacked from behind. Two men of middle Eastern appearance kicked the young man in the head, face, and body causing multiple cuts and bruising, and breaking a tooth. The man required stitches to close a gash on his lower lip. The attack was unprovoked and the motive appears to have been robbery.
