Police trampled, hundreds arrested in Melbourne anti-lockdown protest
Issued on: 18/09/2021 - 10:32

Melbourne (AFP)

Several police officers were wounded and hundreds of protesters were arrested in Australia's second-most-populous city Saturday in violent clashes at an anti-lockdown march.

Officers used pepper spray and made over 200 arrests in Melbourne as several hundred attendees flouted stay-at-home orders and marched through an inner-city suburb.

The illegal gathering comes as the city goes through its sixth lockdown since the pandemic started, with the wider state of Victoria reporting over 500 cases of Covid-19 on Saturday.

Police said six officers were taken to hospital after they were pelted with projectiles and trampled in clashes with the crowd of around 700 people.

Hate to see this but you cannot refuse national security and then expect people to pay the price for you not doing your job...

Imagine if they hadn't surrendered their guns.
