Refugees threatened at Syd soccer training
A group of Afghan Hazara refugees have been verbally abused and threatened by a knife-wielding man at soccer training in Sydney's west.
The group of young men were at soccer training at King Park in Merrylands on Tuesday when a 29-year-old man running through the park questioned them about their ethnicity.
He then began bellowing abuse at the teenagers and called them "Muslim terrorists" according to Islamophobia Register Australia.
After a brief altercation, the teenagers chased the man away before he returned with a knife, threatening to stab them.
Police said a man was arrested and charged with affray, intimidation and use of an offensive weapon.
The man will appear at Fairfield Local Court on November 5.
