A BRAWL erupted at North Cronulla beach today when a gang of youths turned on a media crew with one man being arrested.
Police said a fight between two people started the trouble about 4.30pm (AEDT) during which one person received minor injuries.
Up to ten people then turned on a media crew, damaging their equipment, a police spokesman said.
"Police responded immediately to the reported unrest and one man was arrested for malicious damage and taken to Miranda police station for questioning," he said.
"A search is currently under way for other persons who may be able to assist with enquires."
A spokesman for Surf Life Saving Sydney said no lifesavers had been involved in today's brawl.
The incident follows the arrest this morning of a teenager, who was later charged over the assault on two lifeguards last weekend at the same southern Sydney beach.
The lifeguards were taken to Sutherland Hospital with lacerations and bruises caused by several blows to their heads.
Surf lifesavers at Cronulla have said that attack was carried out by a gang of youths who regularly visit Cronulla to harass locals and beachgoers.
