A magistrate has grilled police about why they released two men allegedly involved in a reprisal attack immediately after the Cronulla Beach riot, in which a "hapless victim" was left with a fractured eye socket after being set upon by a carload of men.
Mohammed Eid, 19, and Wael Tahan, 20, were on bail for other offences at the time of the alleged attack. They were detained by police in the early hours of December 12, but were released after having their clothes taken for forensic examination and being interviewed.
Tahan was caught after allegedly fleeing a car police had been pursuing, and Eid was discovered at 5.30am, in an oyster lease 500 metres from the abandoned car. Tahan was on a court-imposed curfew at the time.
