More than 60 people clashed at a road junction after tension between two families boiled over. The incident happened in a suburb of Sydney, Australia. The groups were allegedly armed with knives, baseball bats, metal poles, planks, branches, cricket bats, pick handles, screwdrivers, golf clubs, curtain rods and glass bottles. Someone had clearly been ignoring the old saying: 'Never bring a curtain rod to a knife, baseball bat, metal pole, plank, branch, cricket bat, pick handle, screwdriver, golf club, and glass bottle fight.' So far 19 men have been arrested, including four teenagers. Tekawau Opai, 18, has already appeared in court and the events of the previous few days emerged. Prosecutor Sergeant Frank Ritano described how a fight had originally broken out between the two families. During the following 48 hours a series of reprisals took place. It culminated in a street brawl despite the efforts of police to break-up the different groups. Due to the numbers involved, the police were forced to stand off. A subsequent police raid on a home in the area found a stash of weapons, including hammers and machetes. Just in case the knives, baseball bats, metal poles, planks, branches, cricket bats, pick handles, screwdrivers, golf clubs, curtain rods and glass bottles weren't enough. Those arrested are due to appear in court later this month.

Re: Feuding families go to war

Hahaha, it's quite an interesting assortment of weapons!

These are from the furthest suburbs of Sydney - at least an hour's drive from the normal people. I've never even heard of the place before and google maps hasn't either!

The scum from the west stays in the west thank god.
