Rioters set fire to a train station and pelted police with gasoline bombs in
an Aboriginal ghetto in Sydney on Monday during a nine-hour street battle
that began after a teenager died, allegedly while being chased by officers.

The overnight rioting in the Redfern neighborhood, an Aboriginal ghetto of
Australia's most populous city, left 40 officers injured and highlighted
continuing tensions between authorities and the nation's original
inhabitants.

The street battle earlier Monday followed the death of a 17-year-old
Aborigine, Thomas Hickey, who was impaled on a fence when he fell from his
bicycle. His mother claimed officers were chasing the teen, an allegation
that police deny.

"It's got to stop, the way they treat our kids," Gail Hickey said. "They
treat our kids like dogs . they manhandle them."

Hundreds of police in full riot gear doused rioters with high-pressure water
hoses during the fighting.
