Police have tackled a number of men to the ground in North Melbourne after an anti-lockdown and vaccination protest in downtown Melbourne turned violent.
At least five men were arrested, with one man bleeding from the head and police deploying OC spray during the scuffle with protesters on Victoria Street.
All gatherings, including protests, are banned under Victoria’s lockdown restrictions as the state grapples with a fresh outbreak of coronavirus.
Multiple people were arrested earlier at the protest which began at Flagstaff Gardens in the Melbourne CBD. Within an hour at least 12 people were arrested.
A heavy police presence surrounded the gardens where about 50 protesters against vaccinations and Victoria’s seven-day lockdown gathered at noon.
One woman was detained by police outside Queen Victoria Market.
