A New Zealander who has felt the brunt of unrest in Sydney's southeast suburbs fears the violence could worsen

Elizabeth Binning:

Former Aucklander Darian said the alcohol-fuelled weekend violence came as no surprise to him.

Six weeks ago the 35-year-old was walking home when he was set on by a group of Lebanese men. He was badly beaten, needed stitches in his forehead and took several weeks off work.

Since his attack Darian has become more aware of the growing racial tension as police seem unable to deal with crimes committed by residents from the Middle East.

"It's really no surprise to me at all that this has happened. It just seemed inevitable that something was going to happen soon ... I didn't realise it was going to happen as quickly as it has."

Darian said the weekend's revenge attacks had increased his concern about going out on the streets.

"I don't go out much any more, especially at night and with all the stuff that's going on now. It's pretty terrifying to think it's going on at your door."

He is now considering leaving the area for his own safety.
