Bikie Brawl in Sydney Airport
Domestic passengers got the shock of their lives this week as bikies brazenly attacked a rival gang at an arrivals area.
More than 50 passengers arriving in Sydney on Sunday afternoon witnessed the brawl as the Hells Angels and Comanchero gangs traded fists. One man was hit repeatedly over the head with a metal bollard. Such was the speed of the violence that police and security forces were powerless to stop the melee.
One gang member was killed in the fight. Detectives say it was a carefully planned ambush on the rival gang, who were arriving from Adelaide, and had come to Sydney as reinforcements in a current gang stoush.
Four men were arrested shortly after the attack. And with security CCTV cameras capturing it from every angle, police are confident of rounding up the others involved. It’s believed this is the first such brawl ever witnessed in Sydney Airport.

Great article Elisa!
What a horrible way to be welcomed into Sydney to see that!
I didn’t know the Hell’s Angels were in Australia too. I use to live just around the corner from one of their clubhouses. I’ve since moved, as it wasn’t really my type of neighbourhood in the end - lol. Police eventually caught up with them and shut them down.
The funny thing is that Sydney Airport is so incredibly benign. In all the times I’ve been there I am yet to even see anyone raise their voice! The security seems very tight and it’s well organised and safe. I guess that when people get in an argument it can happen anywhere.
