Violent scenes erupted at a protest following the fatal police shooting of a Somali man.
Hundreds gathered in Footscray, Melbourne on Tuesday for a protest calling for an independent investigation, accountability, and urgent reform in the use of nonlethal force.
It came after Abdifatah Ahmed, 35, was shot by police in Melbourne’s west after allegedly rushing at police with a knife on Thursday night.
His death ignited widespread community outrage, prompting vigils and rallies across the city as demands grow for answers and systemic change.
The peaceful protest unravelled when a man took a swing at officers.
Chaos ensued with footage captured by the Herald Sun showing about 30 protesters clashing with officers.
