WILD brawl involving police and three brothers already on trial for fighting with cops broke out inside a Sydney court yesterday.
The melee erupted only minutes after the siblings from Bankstown were convicted of assaulting police, hospitalising four of them, outside their home in 2013.
One of them, Adel Mehanna, shouted from the dock: “I’m going to kill you” before his brothers Ali and Hussain got into a punch-up with police.
The fight then spilled out of the court into the foyer, shocking dozens of onlookers as numerous punches were thrown.
Six officers tried to restrain one of the brothers who lay screaming on the ground: “Help me, somebody help me.”
The brothers’ mother Rafah Mehanna said “no, no” before she was later taken from the court in an ambulance. She was wasn’t hurt in the fight.
Outside the court building, an angry Ali Mehanna blamed the police for starting the fight, claiming it was “police brutality”.
Their court appearance came after police were called to their Bankstown home on New Year’s Day last year because of reports of a domestic dispute.
When police arrived the court heard Ali swore at them, calling one a “slut” and telling them it was a family matter.
A fight erupted with police and it was alleged three officers were hospitalised and four others injured.
Hussain was taken into custody yesterday following the fight, Adel remains in custody. Ali was given bail.
Charges were dropped against their parents Rafah and Mohamed Mehanna and their sister Zainab, with Magistrate Darryl Pearce saying they had only acted in defence of their family.
