Men charged over ‘racist’ attack

Three men from the Pilbara town of Hedland have been charged over what police allege was a racially motivated attack at a local park last week.

Police allege the men taunted and racially abused a group of 20 Muslim men, women and children who had gathered at Cemetery Beach Park to celebrate the end of Ramadan.

They allegedly punched some of the men, one of whom is believed to have been struck with broken glass.

A 27-year-old man has been charged with aggravated assault occasioning bodily harm and aggravated assault that was racially motivated.

Another 27-year-old has been charged with disorderly conduct and possession of cannabis and a 29-year-old faces two counts of reckless driving.

The men have been granted bail and will appear in the South Hedland Magistrates Court later this week.
