Australian police probe viral video of cop VIOLENTLY throwing man on floor reportedly leaving him ‘unconscious’ amid Melbourne anti-vaccination protests (WARNING DISTRESSING)
The 12-second clip, which began circulating Wednesday night, shows an unidentified man talking to a group of Victoria Police officers at Flinders Street railway station.
Another officer then walks over to them, grabs the man from behind and throws him to the floor.
“There is always a before and after with these matters, and context, and I think that’s important,” Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Shane Patton said in a press conference, adding that he “couldn’t be prouder” of the police who had been “brilliant” when dealing with protesters in what had been a “dynamic, scary and frightening” few days.
