Three men have been arrested after clashes between police and anti-lockdown protesters in Melbourne’s northern suburbs on Sunday.
In the video footage taken in Broadmeadows during the afternoon, more than 30 protesters – mostly young men – are seen chanting and yelling at police while disrupting traffic before running away from officers.
A 22-year-old man from Broadmeadows, an 18-year-old man from Broadmeadows and a 17-year-old boy from Craigieburn were arrested during Sunday’s anti-lockdown protest.
The trio is expected to be issued fines for breaking the Chief Health Officer’s stay-at-home directions, as well as traffic-related offences.
