Caller provides vivid account of ‘chaotic’ anti-Semitic attack at Israeli restaurant

A caller on 3AW has provided a vivid account of the “chaotic” scenes at an Israeli restaurant in the CBD on Friday night.

Debra was sitting outside at a restaurant along Hardware Lane when the anti-Semitic attack occurred, and told Tony Jones it looked like police “didn’t really know what they were supposed to do”.

“It was just chaos, absolute chaos,” Debra said on 3AW Mornings.

“Stuff was being thrown, glass was breaking, tables went over.”

State opposition leader Brad Battin then spoke about the attack on the restaurant and synagogue in East Melbourne, and what needs to be done from here.

“I think it’s really important the government and opposition and members of parliament stand up and just say this is not okay,” Battin told Tony Jones.

“Our language and protests in the streets are leading to now violent crimes, we have to get on top of this.

“People are genuinely feeling unsafe.”
