Police are investigating both incidents as antisemitism and aren't ruling out the prospect they might be linked.

00:00The remnants of yet another act of hatred. This time five young women
00:09pelted by eggs on this busy Bondi stretch. Police say it happened around
00:149.30 last night and believe it was a targeted attack. I've been advised that
00:19it potentially was clothing worn by those young ladies as to why they were
00:24targeted. 30 minutes later a silver Mazda was seen driving erratically before
00:29hitting the curb and crashing in Rose Bay. We just had lots of sirens, seemed like a
00:35bit of a pursuit and then just came down and obviously saw the crash. An empty
00:40jerrycan and several egg cartons were found inside the car. It might be best if
00:45you come forward straight away because we will track you down. Detectives are
00:50investigating whether the car is linked to anti-semitic graffiti scrawled on
00:56homes and cars in Ramwick in Kingsford last night. Every morning I wake up and
01:01looking at all those news channels to check where it happened the latest, where
01:06was the latest anti-semitic attack. With over 40 dedicated detectives, Strikeforce
01:12Pearl is now investigating 12 separate anti-semitic attacks but as the
01:17incidents continue some in the Jewish community are concerned more needs to be
01:22done. It is terror, no doubt, so if that will be five years in jail people will
01:28stop doing it. And another incident overnight, this time in Perth. The WA
01:34Premier pointed the finger at far-right groups using online forums. Stop this
01:40white, right-wing, white supremacist language where it starts, in social media.
01:46Police are calling on the community to report anything suspicious.
