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.
"What we saw today was a group of protesters that came together, not to protest freedoms, but simply to take on and have a fight with the police," Victoria Police Commander Mark Galliott told media.
Police attempted to reduce access to the centre of the city, blocking roads and stopping public transport in a bid to avoid a repeat of violent scenes at a rally that drew thousands last month.

Police and anti-lockdown protesters clash in Melbourne, Australia

Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose.
They have turned the cops into Gestapo, but it is the *citizens* who are criminals, trying to live their lives as free men.
Good video.
Would have been better if some of the nazi-cops got their heads stomped right imto the blacktop, but maybe next time.
First time that line ever made sense to me.
Yet the “leaders” in this country allow this to continue by these horrific mandates. How much is China paying these “leaders”
The leftist media is lying about this too?
If they’re enforcing illegitimate orders in pursuit of tyranny against a free people...they’re not “police officers” they’re government goons
From the immortal Kris Kristofferson.
Well the fella down unduh has the guns, F-15s(?) and soon a nuke sub so them crockies better be careful.
When do the fascists down under start mowing down the folks?
I bet if the crowds stripped the cops naked and paddle their ass, they’d think twice the next time.
I hope the Australians remember to vote out all the fools who have pushed them to the brink.
I think that the One World Government-New World Order types are trying to use the “Pandemic” to finally take control.
They will stamp out desent where ever they find it.
The word freedom will not be permitted to be associated with any resistance.
If police are supporting these mandates in any way, they deserve the hell they encounter.
“”What we saw today was a group of protesters that came together, not to protest freedoms, but simply to take on and have a fight with the police,”
Because they’re fed up with the police enforcing the insanity.
