A feud between Aboriginal and Pacific Islander families has flared again at Woodridge, south of Brisbane.

The riot squad was brought in to separate the sides when a clash broke out around 5:00pm (AEST) on Monday.

They say no arrests have been made.

Racial tensions flared at the weekend when a fight broke out between the rival families on Douglas Street and two men were arrested.

Residents say tensions have been simmering since local man Richard Saunders was murdered in 2008.

They intensified last month after the death of teenager Jackson Doolan, who was hit by a train after getting into an argument with a group of other males on the platform.

Police are speaking with community leaders in a bid to calm the situation and say patrols in the area will be stepped up.

Superintendent Noel Powers says the majority of locals want peace and police are doing all they can to ease the situation.

"We work very closely with the access services, with all the respective agencies who deal with these areas," he said.

"We've got a very good working relationship with these people to try to stop any simmering tensions that do come to the fore.

"Unfortunately this one seems to be ongoing and we really are trying to work hard with the elders of both communities to try and get on top of it."

Aboriginal leaders say they are worried about the ongoing tensions.

It is alleged several carloads of men turned up at a Woodridge house on Saturday night and attacked cars and a house with bats, machetes and bricks.

Eleven people staying there say they hid in a small back room fearing they were going to die.

Greg Barlow says he wants the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) to investigate why police took more than an hour to attend.

"We called them about 15 times," he said.

"Some of the fellas in the back room were crying - they thought they were gone."

'Someone is going to die'

Mr Barlow says the men outside had threatened to burn down the house.

"Somebody is going to die - the coppers they are not going to do anything about it," he said.

Police say they are investigating a report of wilful damage.

On Sunday night, two people were arrested in clashes in the same street.

Police have charged a man and a teenager with public nuisance.

The 17-year-old and 21-year-old from Slacks Creek were also charged with obstructing police.

Premier Campbell Newman says there is no need for violence.

"I just ask people to think about just cooling it down a bit."
