Victoria police say up to 100 worshippers who gathered near a synagogue in Melbourne’s south-east in breach of Covid-19 lockdown rules will be fined.

The ultra-Orthodox group is believed to have gathered to mark Jewish New Year, entering the Ripponlea synagogue about 5am yesterday and refusing to leave until nightfall in a 14-hour standoff.

Victoria Police manned the exits of the synagogue, anticipating the exit of the rule-breakers inside.
But a number of people allegedly fled the scene by climbing over “neighbouring roofs” in an attempt to evade police.

Eyewitnesses said some of those gathered chanted, pushed cameras and yelled insults at media and police as well as climbed onto a nearby building.

A news camera operator was injured during the clash with worshippers and is recovering in hospital.
