Police in Melbourne have been accused of pushing a “pregnant” woman while arresting another woman who was allegedly breaching coronavirus rules.
Police took the woman into custody at Altona Beach on Saturday after she allegedly failed to wear a mask and travelled outside her permitted 5km radius.
As seen in the video, the woman is being held down by several police officers before being escorted away.
“Why are you arresting her? What did she do?,” a bystander is heard shouting at police.
