Disturbing scenes involving a large group of Muslim men have unfolded outside the emergency department of a major Sydney hospital.
Video obtained by 2GB shows a scuffle break out between the black-clad group, who were of Middle Eastern appearance and included women wearing Islamic head-coverings, at St George Hospital in the city’s south on Wednesday.
The clip shows two men being held back as they appear to attempt to attack each other, with the crowd of more than 20 people pushing and shoving as the clash spills over into the road.
Wild scenes have emerged outside of an emergency department.

NSW Police told the radio station it was believed a person had died of a medical episode, and then a scuffle broke out.
“I’m very angry about this,” NSW Health Minister Ryan Park said.
“I’ve seen the video now a few times, I’m very very disappointed.
“Emergency departments are really stressful places, people go there often on the worst day of their life, they don’t need to see this hooligan-type behaviour outside an ED, and we expect and hope that the NSW Police get hold of these people and charge them for this incident.”
