At Lakemba in Sydney's south-west, a crowd of about 500 mostly Muslim men gathered outside the Lakemba Mosque after rumours of an attack on the building.
One man said the crowd had gathered as a show of force.
Police blocked off the street 200 metres either side of the building and a police helicopter hovered overhead.
There were reports a camera crew had been set upon while covering the gathering outside the mosque but police said no one was injured in the incident.
The crowd began to disperse without incident about 9.30pm.
Police said as the crowd left the mosque, rocks were thrown at officers standing nearby on the corner of Lakemba Street and Wangee Road.
No one was reported to be injured in the incident and more police rushed to the scene.
