Police struggle to contain 30 men involved in mass brawl at train station
Seven men have been arrested after a large group confronted police at Lidcombe Railway Station in Sydney’s west.
Police were alerted to a number of passengers causing trouble on a train travelling from Sydney Olympic Park just before 10pm.
They attempted to disperse a group of about 30 men who became aggressive towards the officers and failed to follow police orders.
Reinforcements were called in and the men were dispersed, with seven of them being arrested.
Five of the men, aged between 24 and 29, will face court next month on a variety of charges including affray while two have been released pending further inquiries.
