Disturbing video from Sunday’s March for Australia rally in Melbourne shows a mob of violent far-left extremist counter-protesters bashing an elderly man wearing an Australian flag T-shirt.
The footage, filmed by YouTuber Keen Encounters on August 31, shows blood pouring from the face of the grey-haired man after he was beaten by dozens of masked leftists, many in Palestinian scarfs or dressed like antifa.
The clip begins with another man in green being struck and shoved by the left-wing thugs before the older man can be seen being dragged along the ground from the middle of the crowd.
He then appears to try to make his way back through the crowd, but a woman and a man warn him he is “going to get hurt”, and moments later he is attacked again and sprayed with an unknown liquid.
As the same woman tells him to leave another films and berates him, yelling “you’re an immigrant yourself, where are you from? Are you European?”
Two male pro-Palestinian protesters then shield the man, who looks dazed and is bleeding from a cut on his forehead, from the baying mob.
The man in the Australian flag T-shirt then attempts to go back through the crowd and is soon surrounded, hit, pushed, shoved, and has an egg smashed on his head, while multiple men film the beating.
Other footage of the counter-protesters filmed on the same day shows them throwing tins of fruit, eggs and bottles of water at patriotic Aussies, and making several attempts to disrupt the anti-immigration march before being repelled by Australian flag-wearing demonstrators.
Left-wing extremists also used an illegal aboriginal squatter camp in the Kings Domain as a base to attack March of Australia attendees as they were returning to their cars, and vandalising the vehicles.
The attacks led to a group of National Socialist Network activists charging up the hill before an alleged clash that has resulted in three nationalists being arrested and charged, including leader Thomas Sewell.
