Melbourne could see a repeat of Sydney's 2005 Cronulla race riots with a far-right group vowing to stage a beach rally against African gangs.

The True Blue Crew is planning a demonstration at St Kilda beach a month after 20 black youths allegedly bashed and robbed three men there.

The far-right group's lunchtime rally, planned for January 5, has echoes of the Cronulla riots in December 2005, where white nationalist groups violently targeted Lebanese Australians visiting the Sutherland Shire beach from western Sydney.

'It's time to say no to gangs bashing Aussies,' the True Blue Crew has told its 1,532 Facebook followers.

The United Patriots Front, another similar nationalist group, late last year clashed with African youths at St Kilda beach, with far-right leader Neil Erikson confronting and filming black teenagers kicking a soccer ball around a footpath and playing music, before police intervened on a Friday night.

The True Blue Crew's New South Wales branch also plans to also capitalise on a spate of African gang crime in Melbourne, encouraging its followers to travel to Victoria to protest.

In early December, 20 African youths at St Kilda allegedly bashed and robbed three men on a Saturday night, leaving one victim unconscious.

Dau Mabior, 19, was charged over his alleged involvement in an all-in brawl on the tourist-heavy foreshore of Melbourne's St Kilda beach.

He was also accused of assaulting officers, making threats to kill and possessing marijuana.

Three men were allegedly ambushed by the riotous group before one was knocked unconscious and robbed.

After Christmas, a gang of African youths stormed Chelsea Beach, in Melbourne's south-east, before allegedly smashing a glass bottle over a teenager's head, assaulting multiple swimmers and stealing their wallets.

Shortly before Christmas, this time at St Albans in Melbourne's north-west, African youths from the Blood Drill Killers gang robbed and harassed shop owners and their customers.

On Christmas Eve, a 46-year-old man was hospitalised with cuts to his face after African youths allegedly attacked the Song Huong Vietnamese restaurant on Alfrieda Street.

The previous day, 20 youths armed with baseball bats threw tables and chairs at patrons outside the B&D Kitchen next door.

On December 19, there was another attack in the area which led to an alleged juvenile gang member being charged with robbery and assault.

Far-right groups are targeting African gangs in Melbourne 13 years after similar nationalist groups targeted Lebanese Australians at Sydney's Cronulla beach.

This led to 5,000 mainly young men rioting for two days, following clashes between lifeguards and Lebanese visitors from western Sydney.
