Still-shaken the day after, Sue Parker says a brawl between young thugs and not-so-young squash players outside the Weston Creek Community Centre on Wednesday night was like "something out of a movie.'' Possibly thousands of dollars of damage was done to her Hyundai i30 by vandals when it was parked outside the centre in Parkinson Street as she was inside playing squash. It resulted in three young men brawling with much older masters squash players. And the squash players came out on top. About 10pm on Wednesday night, one of the squash players saw three young men bashing Ms Parker's car with a three-metre Koppers log - a length of wood used in garden beds and edges. "They pushed it into the windscreen and on to the bonnet and damaged one of the headlights and the front panel,'' Ms Parker said. When Ms Parker was alerted to the damage, other squash players in their 50s, 60s and 70s came out of the centre and saw three men walking across the road. One of the squash players, in his 70s, confronted the men. "[He] walked up to them and said, 'Did you do this?' And they said, 'Yes',''' Ms Parker said. More words were exchanged between the two groups across the road. "Two of them took off their t-shirts and raced across the carpark to our group,'' Ms Parker said. "It was like something you'd see out of a movie. "Then the security guard came out of the community centre and the men got really agitated and the three of them attacked him. "The squash guys pulled them off him. There were people on the ground, punches going. It was pretty horrid. "[The vandals] were drunk definitely and we're probably lucky they didn't have knives because it could have been very bad for us. It was bad already but it could have been a lot worse.'' Calls were made to the police and the three men eventually ran away. One bystander described it like this: "The fit young lads let their fists do the talking only to be bounced by the age and wisdom of the also-fit oldies, wrestled to the ground and chased off the carpark''. Another squash player, who did not want to be named, said of the vandals: "Behaviour like that is just foul. I just can't believe people can act like that''. An ACT Policing spokesperson said three men, aged 19, 20 and 21 were arrested for assault and property damage in the vicinity of Cooleman Court over Wednesday night. Inquiries were continuing.
