Australia: Chaos Ensues After Youth Gathering Turns Unruly at Mordialloc Beach

Riot police were deployed to Mordialloc Beach in Melbourne’s south-east on Wednesday, December 17, after a large gathering of youths turned unruly, raising public safety concerns and forcing a nearby Woolworths supermarket into lockdown. According to local media, more than 100 youths had gathered in the area when police were first called shortly after 3 p.m. following reports of a brawl at the store. The group later moved to the beach, where footage shared online showed mostly shirtless youths surrounding police officers. One teenager was taken into custody as officers moved in to disperse the crowd and restore order.
